Ingredient Tips for Spinach Artichoke Dip

Spinach: I use frozen spinach since it’s easy. Thaw in the fridge overnight or placing it in a fine mesh strainer and run it under hot water. Squeeze it very dry so the dip doesn’t get watery.
- Option: Replace frozen spinach by cooking 1lb of fresh spinach in a skillet until wilted. Cool, chop, and squeeze.
Artichokes: Choose marinated artichoke hearts that come in a jar of seasoned oil—they have more flavor. If using canned artichoke hearts, they’re usually packed in water without seasonings, so add ½ teaspoon of Italian seasoning to the dip.
Cream cheese: A block of cream cheese is mixed with sour cream forul the base. Sour cream makes the dip softer for scooping and keeps it from being too rich. Replace the sour cream with Greek yogurt for fewer calories and a tangy flavor.
Cheese: Mozzarella, parmesan, and Gruyere is our favorite combination in this recipe.
- Option: You can replace Gruyere with either Swiss cheese or Gouda.

Variations: Add water chestnuts for crunch or bacon bits. Chopped green chiles or pickled jalapenos are also great additions.

How to Make Spinach Artichoke Dip

Fold in the cheese, spinach, and artichokes.
Bake until bubbly!

Holly’s Best Dip Tips

Mix the cream cheese with a hand mixer, adding air and making it softer and easier to scoop.
Season the mixture if the artichokes aren’t seasoned in oil.
Prepare the dip up to 48 hours in advance; if it’s chilled from the fridge, add 10 minutes to the cooking time.
Leftovers make a great grilled cheese sandwich or pasta sauce with the addition of some cream.

If you have flour tortillas on hand, they can be oven baked until crisp for dipping! Lightly brush them with olive oil (or melted butter) and season them with a pinch of salt and garlic powder. Bake at 350°F for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned and crisp.

Other great dippers include tortilla chips, crostini, crackers, or cubed sourdough bread.

Storing Spinach Artichoke Dip

Keep leftover artichoke dip in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Freeze dip in a freezer-friendly container for up to 3 months. Once thawed, stir thoroughly and add fresh cheese before reheating if desired.
