Recipe Variations:

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’ve made this dip four times since Thanksgiving and I use fresh spinach chopped up. It’s so delicious.
Added lawry’s, onion powder, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, pepper. I think a little cayenne would be great but am bringing it to a potluck so didn’t want it to be too spicy. SO GOOD! Super creamy. Good with doritos but plan to serve it with French bread.
Marinated artichokes??
Love cooking and love what you post! Awesome dish, I’ve made it for a good year now yet I can’t stop laughing over the person that said in the comments “you didn’t call for salt and the dish wasn’t salty enough”!
Keep up the good work!
Loved this recipe! We subbed Greek yogurt for the mayo and it still turned out amazing. All gobbled up at the party!
Delicious! Easy recipe and even more tasty. I doubled the spinach, because why not? Everyone loved it!
Did not like the cream cheese and sour cream together. Was sour and over powering.
Great dip
Do you also squeeze the liquid out of the artichokes? Followed the recipe exactly as is but the texture of mine seems thinner than yours. Turned out great all the same
Turned out clumpy like ricotta cheese and dry. Looked like it would have been better served as ravioli stuffing instead of dip.
Gonna try mixing the mayo, cream cheese and sour cream with some heavy cream and milken it up on the stove first before adding the rest to be baked.
