The night before making the dip, put the plain fat free yogurt into a coffee filter lined strainer that is set inside of a bowl. Cover the strainer with plastic wrap and refrigerate over night to remove liquid from the yogurt.
Preheat the oven to 350℉.
Remove the thickened yogurt from the coffee filter and place in a bowl.
Add the fat free ricotta and light Miracle Whip to the yogurt and mix thoroughly.
Add the romano cheese (⅓ c plus 1 tbsp) and garlic powder to the dip base and mix together.
Drain the can of artichoke hearts. Squeeze as much moisture out of the artichoke hearts as you can. Place them in a food process and chop them.
Add the chopped artichoke hearts to the dip base and thoroughly incorporate them. Taste the dip and add more garlic powder if you think it is needed.
Transfer the dip to a baking dish or casserole and place in the oven to bake at 350℉ for 30 min.
Remove the dip from the oven and let cool for 10 - 15 min before serving.
Serve with dippers of your choice.
Refrigerate any leftovers. Heat leftovers in the microwave slowly.
Notes
Parmesan cheese can be substituted for the romano cheese but it is not as robust in flavor. Nutritional Data for 4 tbsp of DipCalories 72 kcal, Fat 2 g, Sat. Fat 1.2 g, Carb. 7.2 g, Fiber 1.2 g, Total Sugar 4 g, Protein 4.8 g, Sodium 328 mg
