  • Adding 4 ounces soft goat cheese creates a creamier version for those tolerating some dairy.
  • Thoroughly squeeze liquid from spinach and artichoke hearts to prevent watery dip.
  • Choose vegan mayonnaise to keep the recipe vegan and dairy-free.
  • Recommended serving size is about 1/4 cup.
  • The mini casserole dish used fits the described quantity of dip well.
