What You’ll Need For Spinach Artichoke Dip
This spinach artichoke dip can be made ahead of time and baked just before serving.
Cream Cheese: Use a block of cream cheese – reduced fat can be used. Mayonnaise: Mayonnaise helps keep this dip smooth and soft. I don’t recommend light mayonnaise as it changes the flavor too much. Sour Cream: Sour cream adds tang, light sour cream works fine in this recipe. Spinach: I use thawed frozen chopped spinach. You can cook 1 pound of fresh spinach, cool it, and squeeze it dry to replace frozen spinach. Find more details here. Artichokes: Marinated artichokes are packed in oil and have seasonings which adds extra flavor. If using water-packed canned artichokes, add a pinch of Italian seasoning or dried basil. Cheese: I use Mozzarella, Gruyere, and Parmesan cheese in this dip. Mozzarella has a mild flavor and makes this dip gooey and creamy, while Gruyere and Parmesan add flavor. Replace Gruyere with Gouda or Swiss.
Variations
Add crumbled bacon or bacon bits Stir in green onions, chives, fresh herbs like basil or parsley For a little kick, add diced pickled jalapenos or red pepper flakes to taste

Holly’s Top Tips for Spinach Artichoke Dip
Mix with a hand mixer to make a softer, smoother dip. To thaw spinach quickly, place it in a fine mesh strainer and run it under hot water. To drain the spinach, squeeze it dry (I use my hands) or press it into the strainer to remove excess liquid.
Dippers and Dunkers
My favorite dippers for spinach artichoke dip include pita chips, tortilla chips, or crostini. You can also serve this dip (and keep it low carb) with carrots, celery, mini bell peppers, or cucumbers.
