Laura's Pitas with Spinach Artichoke Dip

Day 263

I decided to make this because, well, we had all the ingredients. Even a can of artichoke hearts in the pantry for the past month or so. Not to mention fresh spinach and parsley in the garden!

Spinach Artichoke Dip

I looked up a few different dip recipes to figure out how to create this dip but the one I followed most closely was Hot Spinach and Asiago Dip.

My recipe:
1/2 package cream cheese
1/3 cup mayo (Compliments salad dressing)
1/3 cup sour cream
1 can artichoke hearts
1 1/2 cups parmesan cheese (reserve 1/4 cup for top)
2 cups fresh spinach
1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley
1 tsp lemon juice
3 cloves garlic, minced

Laura's Pitas

As usual, Laura's pitas are a hundred times better than store-bought ones. Maybe even a thousand times better. They are soft and warm and elastic-y. And delicious. They even pocket.

We've had this at restaurants, but man, it doesn't compare. After making this at home, I wonder why restaurants bother adding salt to it...it doesn't need any added at all. It's perfect. Perfect 10.
