What You’ll Need

Spinach: Frozen spinach makes the prep easy. You can thaw it in the fridge overnight or place it in a fine mesh strainer and run it under hot water. Squeeze it dry to keep the dip from getting watery. It can be replaced with 1lb of fresh spinach, cooked and cooled.
Artichokes: Use marinated artichoke hearts that come in a jar of seasoned oil. 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 (or Greek yogurt) as the base. For an extra tangy, salty dip, use feta cheese.
Cheese: I use mozzarella, Parmesan, and Gruyere in this recipe. You can replace Gruyere with Swiss cheese or Gouda.
Variations: Add water chestnuts or bacon bits for crunch. Chopped green chiles or pickled jalapenos are also great additions. Like it garlicky? Add an extra clove or two. Prefer the slow cooker? Try this Crockpot spinach artichoke dip.

Store leftover spinach artichoke dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Freeze dip in a freezer-friendly container for up to 3 months. Once thawed, drain off any excess liquid. Stir creamy ingredients together thoroughly and add fresh cheese before reheating.

Can I use fresh spinach?

Yes! To make it with fresh spinach, you will need to cook it first.

What do I serve this with?

Great dippers include pita chips, tortilla chips, crostini, homemade Cheez-its, or cubed sourdough or rye bread. You can also use carrots, celery, or other vegetables.

Can I make this ahead?

It can be made up to 48 hours in advance. Add 5-10 minutes to the cook time.
