Notes
For the best texture, drain canned artichokes well and pat them dry to avoid extra liquid in your dip.
For a dairy-free version, use coconut yogurt, vegan cream cheese, and plant-based cheese alternatives.
For a spicy twist, mix in a pinch of red pepper flakes or a diced jalapeño.
Stir in a splash of milk or cream to loosen it up if the dip is too thick.
Use the “warm” setting on your slow cooker during serving to keep the dip perfectly gooey.
Oven-baked version: Simply preheat your oven to 350 F and lightly grease a 1-quart baking dish. Add the cream cheese, sour cream, mozzarella, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt to a mixing bowl and combine well, then fold in the fresh spinach and artichokes. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and bake for 20 minutes until heated through and gooey.Serve: Serve this delicious spinach artichoke dip with chips, bread, crackers, or fresh veggies to cater to all preferences. For a unique pairing, try fried wonton wrappers, soft pita bread, potato skins, parmesan potatoes, mozzarella sticks, or serve the dip in a bread bowl.Store: Let the spinach artichoke dip cool completely, then transfer it to an airtight container. Keep in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. To reheat, warm individual portions on the stovetop or in the microwave, or bake in the oven at 325 F until warmed through.
