The recipe doesn't list portion size for that 22g carb/serving. I assume they base these values only on the ingredients in the dip and not the bread/cracker/veg that it is eaten on. With the cheese and mayo, it would be quite rich so I doubt anyone would eat a huge amount at any one time and certainly not the whole batch. Per the Calorie King website, 14 ounces of canned artichoke hearts contain 21.4 grams carbohydrates and a 10 ounce package of frozen spinach contains 10.3 grams carbohydrates. The other ingredients should have minimal carbs.

I came across this recipe today for Spinach Artichoke Dip and thought - now there's something I haven't had in a long time are really like...
Well, it seemed easy enough but then I got to the carb count and was surprised. Can anyone tell me why it would be as high as it is and if there is an easy substitute to make it low carb? Thanks
