    Spinach Artichoke Dip is something I look forward to ordering at restaurants. Inspired by a recent trip to the Gristmill, this dip has the flavor and taste I expect when I think of restaurant style Spinach Artichoke Dip. I love to have this cooking when guests arrive. Not only does it buy time till dinner is ready, but it is always a hit! 

    The best thing is it only takes about 10 minutes to prep and can be made with many ingredients you likely already have stocked in your kitchen. I think this is the kind of appetizer that you can serve year round - from dinner parties to baby showers and everything in between!

    Ingredients

    • Cream Cheese - I use regular cream cheese but you can use reduced fat for less total calories.
    • Grated Parmesan Cheese – Higher quality parmesan will have more flavor, but I have made this many times with what I had on hand - Kraft Parmesan Cheese!
    • Mayonnaise –Duke’s is my go-to.  
    • Spices: Dried Basil, Salt and Pepper
    • Artichoke Hearts – can use water packed or for more flavor try marinated. 
    • Frozen Spinach - Uses about ⅔ of a 12 oz. package of frozen spinach.
    • Mozzarella Cheese – For topping, can use more than recipe calls for if you like a very cheesy topping. 

    Recipe Notes

    • One key to successfully making this dish is to be sure and squeeze all the water from the spinach. Microwave frozen spinach in a bowl for 60-90 seconds, place in colander and press water out, then squeeze with paper towel or cheese cloth. 
    • I like a good artichoke to cracker ratio, to achieve this I coarsely chop the artichoke hearts. By doing this, it makes sure it’s easy to dip a chip or cracker in and ensures you get ALL the flavors in every bite. 
    • I like to prep this before hand and let it sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, I think it helps the flavors meld. You can even make it the night before!
    • Bake in a pie plate, small oven-safe skillet or ceramic baking dish.

    Variations

    • Add crushed red pepper of a couple dashes of Tabasco for some heat. 
    • To slightly reduce the calories in Spinach Artichoke Dip, you can used reduced fat cream cheese and light mayonnaise. 

    What to serve with dip?

    Serving suggestions include a variety of crackers, sliced baguette, tortilla chips, pita chips or fresh veggies such as celery, bell pepper slices, and baby carrots.
