Spinach Artichoke Dip
Description
This Spinach Artichoke Dip starts with thawed, drained spinach combined with chopped artichoke hearts and shredded Parmesan cheese. A creamy mixture of softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, and minced garlic is stirred into the vegetable base, ensuring a smooth, well-mixed dip. Transferred to a baking dish, the mixture bakes at 375°F for about 25 minutes until bubbling and lightly browned on top.
The flavors balance creamy tang from the dairy components with mild garlic and tender vegetables. The dip's texture is smooth with chunks of spinach and artichoke adding bite. It pairs well with crackers, chips, or fresh vegetables, making it a common appetizer for gatherings and snacks.
This dip can be made ahead by assembling and refrigerating before baking, then heated just before serving. Leftovers store well refrigerated for several days or freeze for longer storage. Using fresh spinach is an option if wilted and chopped properly before mixing.
Ingredients
- 1 (12-ounce) box spinach thawed, frozen, chopped
- 1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts drained and chopped

Notes
- This dip can be made up to 24 hours in advance by preparing through mixing but baking later; keep refrigerated until ready to bake.
- Leftovers store in an airtight container refrigerated for 3 to 4 days or frozen up to 3 months.
- Fresh spinach can replace frozen if wilted, drained, and chopped before use.
