Spinach Artichoke Dip Recipe:

I should warn you – make this dip only when there are plenty of people around to share it with because it’s dangerously good. We can’t get enough of this creamy, cheesy, hot spinach artichoke dip. It has been a favorite among readers, friends, and family for years.

My former co-worker Jason brought this to work years ago and it was so good that I immediately asked for the recipe as I was wolfing down the artichoke dip. Thank you for sharing this keeper of a recipe with us!

Ingredients for Spinach Artichoke Dip:

Artichokes: We use canned and drained quartered artichoke hearts in brine. Marinated artichokes are not ideal, but can be used. Keep in mind they do add more salt and tanginess so add parmesan cheese to taste or your dip may be too salty.

Can I Use Fresh Spinach?

You can make a fresh spinach and artichoke dip. One of my readers, Victoria shared her very helpful review on that: “I have made this dip probably a half dozen times or more. I have used fresh spinach (anywhere from 6 to 10 ounces). Works great and so yummy! No need to squeeze anything. Just trim the stems, rough chop and add it in. The heat causes it to wilt just enough.”

Can I Make This a Lighter Dip?

I’ll admit the original rich version of Spinach Artichoke Dip is so good it makes me weak in the knees, but if you’re watching calories, it is still enjoyable as a leaner appetizer. If you are looking for a low-fat version of spinach artichoke dip, try our Skinny Spinach Artichoke Dip which is made lighter with reduced-fat cream cheese and light sour cream (or Greek yogurt) and less butter.

Can I Make Artichoke Dip Ahead?

Yes! Spinach and Artichoke Dip reheats really well. You can completely make dip ahead, transfer to whatever dish you want to reheat it in (or leave it in the pot), let it cool to room temperature and refrigerate until ready to reheat and serve. Follow the reheating instructions below.
