- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Drain the canned artichoke hearts and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and lemon juice. Stir until well-blended.
Add the chopped artichoke hearts to the mixture and gently fold them in until evenly distributed.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Stir to incorporate.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with crackers, bread, or fresh vegetable sticks. Enjoy your creamy Thistle Dip!
