    This is, hands-down, my favorite part in any recipe!! I always try to think of the best recipes for perfect food matches; but you know the best part about dips? Any scooping vessel will do the job!

    Pair your serving bowl with these suggestions!

    Fresh vegetables: This creamy spinach dip goes wonderfully with a whole bunch of raw vegetables. Dippers like mini carrots, broccoli, cauliflower florets, sweet pepper, or celery make healthy eating simply delicious.

    In addition, your healthy Spinach Artichoke Dip is a force to resist when served with pita triangles, tortilla chips, pretzels, crostini, chips, crackers, or baguette slices. The extra crunch? YUM.

    How to Store Your Spinach Artichoke Appetizer

    I am just going to say it, serving this cheesy dip is dangerous! You will never get enough of that wonderful creamy texture! But just in case you want to save some for a little midnight munching, here’s how to store the leftovers!

    To store: Store your baked spinach artichoke dip in an airtight container in the fridge for about 4 days. You can always reheat it a bit when it is ready to be served.

    Make-ahead: Make this recipe in advance as instructed, cover the dish, then pop it in the fridge. Cook as instructed (adding 5 extra minutes) when you are ready to enjoy a creamy bite.


    I Mean…Everything Tastes Better With Cheese!

    I might sound cheesy, but… this recipe is magical in taste and flavor!

    Tips for Delicious Results

    Tip 1: For bold flavors, sauté fresh garlic cloves in olive oil before adding them to the mix. You can also use garlic powder. It adds so much flavor.

    Tip 2: If you are into a little heat, drop in some red pepper flakes. You can also add a pinch of salt if you feel like the overall taste needs some.

    Tip 3: Substitute the cream cheese with Neufchâtel cheese, found in your local grocery store! It is lower in fat and tastes the same. You can use chive cream cheese too for extra flavor.


    Making a Dip Couldn’t Get Any Easier!

    Made with a handful of ingredients, this recipe resents spinach and marinated artichoke hearts in a creamy combination of cream cheese, butter, and mozzarella cheese.
    Serve it right out of the oven!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Does this recipe work with fresh Spinach?

    I have never tried this particular recipe with fresh spinach, but feel free to try! Chop it, give it a quick steam-cook on stovetop until it is soft, then remove excess water. You might need to adjust the cooking time a bit.

    Can I use other types of cheese?

    Actually, Queso white cheese is highly recommended. It is so tasty, and after trying both, I kind of liked it more than mozzarella. Parmesan cheese, or even a little bit of crumbled feta cheese, are good options too. The taste of some cheese goodness is always welcomed!

    Is this recipe served hot or cold?

    I prefer to serve this particular recipe right out of the oven. Serving this dish cold would likely mean hardened cream cheese. So a hot spinach artichoke dip is the way to go!
