Why You’ll Love This Spinach and Artichoke Dip

This dip hits the perfect balance of creamy and savory. The richness of the cheeses is cut by the freshness of spinach and the tender tang of artichokes, making every bite irresistible. It’s also highly customizable: add a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat, or a touch of lemon zest for brightness. Great for vegetarians, and keto-friendly if you skip the chips!

What Kind of Artichokes Should I Use?

Canned or jarred artichoke hearts packed in water are best for this recipe. They’re easy to find, affordable, and already cooked. Just be sure to drain and chop them finely for the best texture. Avoid marinated artichokes as they can overpower the creamy base.

Ingredients for the Spinach and Artichoke Dip

Every ingredient here has a role to play in building that warm, gooey goodness we all crave:

Cream Cheese: This is the creamy backbone of the dip, providing that luscious texture and tang.
Sour Cream: Helps lighten the dip while maintaining richness.
Mayonnaise: Adds smoothness and a little savory depth.
Frozen Chopped Spinach: Convenient and consistent. Just thaw and squeeze out excess moisture.
Artichoke Hearts: Chopped and tender, they bring a nice briny bite.
Garlic: Fresh garlic adds aromatic depth.
Mozzarella Cheese: Melts beautifully into stretchy, cheesy glory.
Parmesan Cheese: For a salty, nutty layer of flavor.
Salt and Pepper: Essential for seasoning and balance.

How To Make the Spinach and Artichoke Dip

Step 1: Prep the Ingredients

Thaw the spinach and squeeze it dry using a kitchen towel or fine mesh strainer. Chop the artichoke hearts into small chunks. Mince your garlic.

Step 2: Mix the Base

In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Fold in the Flavor

Stir in the chopped spinach, artichokes, garlic, mozzarella, and parmesan. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4: Bake Until Bubbly

Transfer the mixture to a baking dish. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes or until golden and bubbly on top.

Step 5: Serve Warm

Serve immediately with chips, sliced baguette, or fresh veggie sticks.
