- Mayonnaise.
- Sour Cream.
- Cream Cheese: allow it to come to room temperature so it mixes in smoothly. Low fat or Neufchatel cheese would also work.
- Parmesan Cheese: Freshly grated tastes best and melts smoothly.
- Garlic.

Make Ahead and Freezing Instructions:
To Make Ahead: Prepare the recipe through step 4 (before baking) and store it in the refrigerator for 1-2 days until ready to bake.
To Freeze: Prepare the recipe through step 4 (before baking). Place mixture in a freezer safe container or bag and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and return to baking dish before baking.
Recipe Variations:
- Spinach Artichoke Dip with Fresh Spinach: Cook about 10 ounces of fresh spinach in a skillet with a little drizzle of olive oil. Once the spinach has cooked down, let it cool before squeezing the liquid out of it. I just get a big paper towel, scoop the spinach into it, and gently squeeze it over the sink.
- Healthy Spinach Artichoke Dip: Substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream and use low fat cream cheese.
- Crockpot Spinach Artichoke Dip: Add everything to the slow cooker and cook on high for 2 hours. Stir well before serving.

I love love love your spinach artichoke dip. I’ve made it twice now.
Omg! This recipe is DEE LISH! I have tried other spinach artichoke dip recipes, but this one surpasses them all!! Thank you for sharing!?
I have made this recipe nearly half a dozen times and everyone raves about it! It’s a winner every time. I have made it in the oven and in the crockpot and it’s great either way! Crockpot during the summer or for a potluck is the way to go, you won’t be disappointed!
I added a few variations. We love spinach, so I added more, double to be exact. I also used 1 packet of onion soup mix. Also, I used mozzarella along with the parmesan, both inside the mixture AND on top. It was SOOOOOOO good!!!
Hi there! To double the recipe, what size dish would you recommend baking in?
I recommend using a 9×13-inch baking dish.
I had been craving a good spinach and artichoke dip for a while now and this was perfect!! It’s rare for me to find a recipe that I don’t make adjustments to but this one is perfect as it is! It will definitely be on my dip list for football season and whenever I’m in the mood for it.
Made for a party, was a Huge hit. One guest said better than Applebee’s. Will definitely make this often.
