Ingredients Needed:

- 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.

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 originally shared this recipe September 2018. Updated June 2021 and December 2022.
It was a huge hit at my party last night. People were literally standing around the dish! So good!!!!
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!?
Made this last year with less parm. How many days in advance do you think this can be made and kept in the frig? Do you think the artichoke will discolor?
1-3 days would be fine.
This dip is DELICIOUS!!! I’m so happy to find a recipe that my whole family loves, can’t wait to make it again!!
I made it and threw a cube of tofu in to it and will serve it with Rice for supper!!
The thing I love about Spinach Artichoke dip is the obvious flavor of parm. This one is spot on! It was delicious and will be my only recipe for it from now on. I had to cut the recipe in half since I only had a small amount of artichoke hearts. It adapted just fine. Thanks Lauren!
Way too much parm.
I love the recipe as-is. I make this in my crockpot and it cooks to perfection!
Delicious!! I made this dip for a party, and it was a hit! I was hoping to have leftovers but people were scraping the bowl to get every last drop. This recipe is a keeper — thank you!
I think the Parmesan cheese was also over powering. I substituted Swiss in the dip itself. Much better taste and more like a hot dip consistency. I used a half cup of shredded. And then flaked Parmesan on top before cooking.
Came out incredible.
I also followed this version of the recipe (substitute 1/2 cup Swiss for the 1.5 cups Parmesan) instead of the original after reading all the comments of how awful it was with all the Parmesan and I’m so glad that I did! It turned out phenomenal! The recipe should really be rewritten with this adjustment and then it would be hands down the best recipe ever!
I just made this dip. I used fresh spinach instead of frozen. I thought it was delicious and I will definitely make this recipe again.
I love spinach artichoke dip and I could not find my recipe. I made this recipe and I really thought it was terrible! Way too much Parmesan cheese! It was overwhelming and I couldn’t taste anything else! Cut the parm down by at least half!!!
OH GOSH! I am making it right now. hope it works for me.
Sorry that happened. I’m on my 2nd batch, kinda winging it this time. It is delicious! BTW, I did cut down on the parm and added some mozzarella.
