Serving Suggestions

You can enjoy artichoke and spinach dip warm or cold. (I prefer warm, but hey that’s just me.)

Serve spinach artichoke dip with your favorite dippers! Classic options include tortilla chips, crackers, or pieces of toasted baguette. It’s also delicious with pieces of fresh carrot or bell peppers for a “lighter” snack!

Also consider spreading it on sandwiches or in wraps, or even as a burger topping. Stuff it in chicken breasts and bake, or spread over pizza and flatbreads! I’d love to hear your suggestions in the comments section. :)

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make a super thick artichoke spinach dip?

Omit the milk in the recipe for a thicker dip that really lets the cream cheese flavor shine.

Why is my spinach dip too think?

You likely have used not quite enough milk, or let the dip cook in the crockpot for a bit too long. To help thin it out, stir in a splash more milk while the slow cooker is still turned on low heat.

Is spinach artichoke dip good for you?

Although spinach is a very healthy veggie packed with nutrients, artichoke dip is not considered “healthy food.” The cheeses, sour cream, and milk add a lot of tastiness… plus fat and calories. So this is a terrific occasional party treat.

How long does spinach artichoke dip last in fridge?

Transfer the cooled dip to an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 3-5 days. Reheat in a microwave in short 20-second bursts at 50% powder. Stir between intervals of heating.
