Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small casserole dish or skillet with olive oil if desired.
In a medium-sized skillet, sauté the chopped spinach over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, until wilted and any excess moisture has evaporated. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Stir until smooth and fully blended.
Add the cooked spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, minced garlic, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the cream cheese mixture. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly incorporated.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish or skillet, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and the dip is bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, bread, or fresh vegetables for dipping. Enjoy your delicious Spinach Artichoke Dip!
