- 1/3 cup chopped green onions
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped

PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
In a medium bowl, combine green onions and jalapeno. Stir in pressed garlic.
In an 8x10 inch glass baking dish, mix sour cream and mayonnaise. Stir in green onions mixture. Blend in 1 cup mozzarella and 1/2 cup Parmesan. Stir in spinach and artichokes. Spread mixture evenly across the baking dish. Sprinkle lemon juice on top, and cover with aluminum foil.
