Inside: The easiest spinach and artichoke dip ever made – and also a hot appetizer dip that will be a hit at every party!
Spinach & Artichoke Dip
I have always been a fan of the flavors that spinach and artichoke bring to my tastebuds.
When we decide to order appetizers at a restaurant I almost always choose the spinach and artichoke dip … but I’m a cheese balls girl at heart too, so if they’re both on the menu … both it is!
This recipe is a restaurant-style spinach artichoke dip that I serve with tortilla chips and pita chips as well. Although, you could choose one or the other and be totally fine too.
You’ll undoubtedly love the hint of garlic, along with the tang of the artichokes, the comfort of the cream cheese and the way the spinach brings the entire dip together.
This dip is made in the oven, though there’s no reason that you couldn’t let it heat up and come together in a Crock Pot just the same.
