The Best Spinach Artichoke Dip

Spinach Artichoke Dip is one of those recipes that absolutely everyone seems to love. A creamy cheesy base loaded with spinach, a bit of garlic and of course marinated artichokes.

Spinach Artichoke Dip is a dish you’ll find on almost every menu and at every party for good reason. Everyone loves it! This spinach artichoke dip recipe is easy to make and it’s creamy, cheesy, and super satisfying!

“I love the use of marinated artichokes in this recipe (instead of canned). The difference is that the canned artichokes are usually in water with a bit of salt… the marinated artichokes are in olive oil and usually have lots of great seasoning which adds tons of flavor to this dip.”

I found out that the best combination of cheeses that works best in this dip is mozzarella and fresh parmesan. But you can choose any mix of cheeses that you like (swiss, gouda or gruyere). It's up to you.

This is a hot spinach artichoke dip and I like to it with toasted slices of baguette. It’s also great with crackers, chunks of sourdough bread or even tortilla chips!
