Spinach Artichoke Feta Dip

Everyone has their own version of the spinach-artichoke dip. I myself have several versions; but when I was making one of my regulars I had some extra feta cheese lying around so decided to throw that in instead of cheddar cheese. It was quite tasty, this is one of the easiest dips you can make to impress a crowd.

And here is a tip for leftovers (if you have any!): reheat the dip and mix into warm orzo pasta for a delicious and creamy side dish!
