Gluten Free Artichoke Dip made with Greek Yogurt

We are taking some family members out for dinner tomorrow night, but wanted to serve an hors d’oeuvre before we leave for dinner. I needed to satisfy a gluten-free diet as well as a regular diet. I wanted to make a spinach dip, but wanted to use what I had in the house. Ah-hah! I had a can of artichoke hearts.That would do! It taste very yummy and it hasn’t even cooled yet. Give it a try!

UPDATE: I used the left-overs by warming it up and adding it to cooked gluten-free pasta.  What a wonderful artichoke pesto!  Its was wonderful!
