I've seen it with mayonnaise, but I think your best bet would be to follow a recipe (or get a packet--the mixes are good) for alfredo sauce, and put in some drained, chopped canned (or frozen thawed) artichokes and some drained, thawed spinach (squeeze out alllll the water.) If you prefer, you can cook some fresh spinach or stir fresh chopped spinach in the dip, but it'll probably be watery if you just stir it in.

Alfredo sauce is basically parmesan cheese, butter, heavy cream, and a touch of spice--a little garlic and pepper (easy on the salt, as parmesan cheese tends to be super-salty.) Make it thick--put in a little less cream if you want a very thick dip. I'd also recommend a bit of nutmeg (good with both cream recipes and spinach) and some cayenne pepper for a little bite and to enhance the flavor. But those are optional.
