- Frozen Spinach: thaw first, and squeeze out the excess liquid. See recipe notes for how to substitute fresh spinach.
- 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.

Pour into baking dish and sprinkle a little extra parmesan cheese on top.
Bake for about 20 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Serve the best spinach artichoke dip recipe with crusty bread, crackers, or chips.
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.
- Artichoke Dip without Spinach: use this Artichoke Dip recipe.

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!?
Sounds yummy! I do have a question, how big is each serving? is it 10 cups or 10 1/2 cups?
I estimate the total serving size to be about 4 cups. That means with 10 servings, each serving would be roughly 1/4 cup! Hope that helps!
For the Spinach Artichoke Dip, do you use real mayonnaise or can you use Miracle Whip salad dressing?
Definitely use real mayonnaise and NOT miracle whip 🙂
Love love love this recipie. I have already been asked to bring this to our Super Bowl party this weekend! Yummy!
Can this be made in a
Crock pot?
Hi Nadine,
I haven’t tried this but you could try putting it on low for no more than 2 hours!
After baking, does this refrigerate well? I’d like to make this for my boyfriend, and while I enjoy my spinach dip hot, he likes it cold. I an wondering if I should make it a day in advance and refrigerate overnight, or make it the day of and just put it in the fridge for a couple of hours. Please let me know, thanks!
Yes, it refrigerates well for several days! Enjoy!
Question, could you post what kind of artichoke hearts you use? I’ve made dip before using brine packed hearts and it made the whole dip taste like salt, but I’m afraid the oil packed ones would be too greasy.
I just buy whatever canned ones are on sale at the store (that aren’t marinated). If they’re in oil I rinse them in a colander before chopping 🙂
I have made this dip many times, I add imitation crab to it. My grandson think it is the best.
I made this today….delish! I left out the artichokes since no one eats it. I used fresh spinach…about double of the recipe. Just put it in the skillet for a few minutes. I don’t like mayo so I used 1/4 instead of half. Great, quick recipe!
Thank you for this easy recipe .. I am going to make this for GNO.?
I’ve been making this dip for years…
This is nothing new…
Take your negative attitude elsewhere Rachel! Thanks for the awesome recipe!
Start your own web pape then! Didn’t your momma teach you that if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all? Try being nice and smiling!
