Nicole’s Best Spinach Artichoke Dip Tips
All the best dips start with cream cheese, according to culinary producer Nicole McLaughlin (a.k.a. NicoleMcMom). This spinach artichoke dip is proof! Here are a few of Nicole’s tips and tricks for making the best spinach artichoke dip of your life:
· It's important that your cream cheese is softened before you start mixing the ingredients. Otherwise, it won't incorporate well.· Mix everything together before you add the spinach and artichokes. You'll want to get the cream cheese mixture well-blended first so the veggies stay intact.· Squeeze out as much moisture as you can before you add the spinach so the dip doesn't get runny.· If you want to make spinach artichoke dip in advance, mix all the ingredients together — but don't bake it. Store it in the fridge for a day or two, then bake it right before serving.
What to Serve With Spinach Artichoke Dip
Serve this spinach artichoke dip hot with tortilla chips, crackers, pita bread, or vegetables. If you want to go the extra mile, try making homemade bagel chips or homemade crostini.
How to Store Spinach Artichoke Dip
Allow the spinach artichoke dip to cool to room temperature, then transfer it to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the oven.
Can You Freeze Spinach Artichoke Dip?
You can freeze spinach artichoke dip for up to three months. However, we don't recommend it — the creamy ingredients will separate and become watery during the freezing and thawing process.

This is such an amazing dip! My husband loves it.
-
I made this for my sister’s bridal shower and had at least 5 people ask for the recipe. My sister and I had to stop eating it so there’d be enough for everyone else.
-
I made this for a “girls night out” one evening and everyone loved it. The mozzarella on top was a bit hard to get through once the dish cooled off, so I warmed it back up and mixed the mozzarella up into the rest of the dish. It worked great and made it even more cheesy.
-
This dip is ammazing!We have to watch how often we make it because my husband and I can not stop eating it! We eat it with tortilla chips as opposed to the bread that usually goes along with this dip. Yummy!
-
I brought this dip to a pot-luck party and the entire plate was licked clean before the dip cooled! A fantastic recipe!
-
This was a wonderful recipe, actually the first I’ve ever tried from allrecipes! I varied it a little and used fresh artichoke hearts and fresh spinach, which gave it a very “vegetable-green” color and good flavor. I highly recommend this recipe as a cheesy, flavorful appetizer (or meal!).
-
An absolutely wonderful dip, I even bought a festive dish to bake it in and serve.. it was fantastic and my guests all wanted the recipe. I served with warmed tortilla chips and slices of crusty sour dough bread.
-
This was a really great recipe. My sister brought it over for Christmas dinner and I couldn’t stop munching on it while dinner was getting ready. Definitely a keeper!
-
I love artichokes and cheese, but hate spinach. I have to admit, I could not stop eating this dip. I made it for a New Year’s party and thank goodness I doubled the recipe. I served it with parmesan-garlic toast rounds and Triscut crackers. It was a H-I-T. A bit on the expensive side, but well worth it when the compliments start pouring in. One hint: Mix most of the mozarella into the dip, and sprinkle just enough on the top to brown and present nicely. This makes the taste great, and when it cools you have no hard layer to fight with to get to the dip.
-
I received so many compliments on this one! Will definately make it again!!!!! *****
-
So good! Got lots of compliments at parties. I leave out the mayo and do as others have suggested with the mozarella – mix some in and use the rest to top. This one is a classic!
-
Very yummy!!!!Made this for the superbowl. It was quite a hit.
-
Wonderful recipe…just like my favorite restaurant makes it. Will be making this a lot more in the future. Tastes great when you dip sourdough hard rolls or toasted baguette.
-
THE FIRST TIME I MADE THIS DIP IT WAS A HUGE HIT! EVERYONE AT MY HOUSE LOVED IT INCLUDING MY CHILDREN (5 + 7). I BOUGHT A PRE-MIXED CHEESE BLEND OF PARMESAN, ROMANO, AND MOZZARELLA AND MIXED IT IN TO THE DISH. THIS SAVED A LOT OF MONEY!! GREAT RECIPE!!
-
Very popular with my family.
-
I also mixed the mozzerella into the mix. Very Good. I dipped with toasted Bagettes. Would be wonderful with Crab Meat.
-
Very nice dip! Mixed the mozzarella cheese right in as suggested in a few reviews. Served in a hollowed out round loaf of bread with bread for dipping. Everyone ate and ate and ate!
-
This recipe is really easy and tasty. Everyone loved it. The only change I made was to add about 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. A winner!
-
This was bland…not enough zip.
-
This is the best Artichoke and Spinach Dip in the world! Once we discovered how great the recipe was, I made it two more times that week! My mother came over and we made double the amount and ate it with water crackers while drinking pina coladas and playing scrabble. We hardly played at all, though. We couldn’t stop eating that dip! I think this is a fantastic recipe, but for our tastes I added a tsp. of cayenne pepper and a little more garlic. Wonderful dip!
-
I have lost count of how many times I have been asked to share this recipe. A definite hit for any occasion.
-
Everytime I make this someone asks me for the recipe. It’s so good and creamy! Easy to make and a hit at every party.
-
This was incredible!! Served it for a party & several people asked me for the recipe. Used more cheese, blended some in & put some cheese top. My dad said it was better than the restaurant’s version.
-
This is a wonderful dip for chips or bread. Everyone loves it.
-
WOW… What a dip… I added one can of diced green chilies to the recipe. It is also much easier to use a pre-mix of shredded Italian cheeses. Goes great with tortilla chips.
-
Have made this many times and even used reduced fat cream cheese & mayo and it’s fantastic. I serve it with baby carrots and pita bread chips(cut pita into wedges and lay on baking sheet and spray w/olive oil pam and sprinkle garlic salt and pepper and bake them!)– always get raves on this one- thanks for sharing!!
-
Best artichoke dip I’ve ever made or had! Everyone in my family agrees.
-
Absolutely the BEST Artichoke dip I have made. And I have made many. I too added cayenne pepper. It gave the dip a Kick!
-
This is great! I have made it 3 times in two weeks. Everyone has raved about this dip. I used creamed spinach just to moisten it up a little. It was delicious!!!
-
Very very good. Got rave reviews and was asked to make it again. My 10 year old daughter said “This isn’t good; it’s delicious! and the best I’ve ever had” and she would know becuase everytime we go to a resturant she asks for artichoke and spinach dip.
-
This recipe rivals most restaurants–great for parties! I like to serve it with toast points, more so than chips. 🙂
My adjustments are as follows: I usually just buy the italian mix shredded cheese (to top it as well), 1/3 fat cream cheese, light mayo, 1 whole package of green giant froz spinach(easy to thaw), a little more garlic. -
I followed this recipe exactly and it was fantastic! I did leave it in the over a few minutes longer to brown the cheese. YUM!!! Great leftover too.
-
This dip is great. I put in more cheese to make it more chessey. Also after baking it I put on diced tomatoes. My family and friends love this dip.
-
This was pretty good although the spinach flavor was somewhat overwhelming. Good texture and color. (I added cheese and paprika on the top before baking). I did not use heavy cream. I added a big glop of mayo which made it creamier. This was an accident because I didn’t have any cream! I would make this again and thanks for sharing! Happy New Year!
-
This dip was absolutely wonderful. Everyone commented on it and I had to print out several copies of the receipe to share. Thanks Tiffany.
-
everyone loved it.. gone within the first ten minutes of the game
-
Excellent!! I used both reduced fat cream cheese and mayo, added an entire 10 oz box of chopped spinach, 3 cloves of diced fresh garlic, used 3/4 cup of an italian cheese blend, and halved the basil…it was INCREDIBLE. Great served with fresh diced roma tomatoes on top.
-
excellent, very easy…followed the recipe ..its a keeper…
-
This was very good. I made it for a dinner party, and everybody loved it.
-
this stuff is really amazing, you can leave out the artichokes and add a whole box of spinach. i dont like romano so i used 1/2 cup parm. unbelievable!!!
-
I had a similiar dip at a wedding shower this weekend and was looking here for the recipe, it was the same except the cook did not use romano cheese or spinach and she also added a small container of sour cream. It was amazing. You can add crab meat as well, for another spin on it. YUM!! This was a big hit at the shower.
-
I loved this recipe! I made it twice over the holidays and everyone loved it. I followed the suggestions and used a package of 3-cheese italian blend grated cheese and put less cheese on top and more mixed into the dip. Some cayenne pepper would also be good for a little more zip.
-
Oh My! This dip is fantastic. I made it for a party and it was gobbled up in no time. Everyone wanted this recipe. It will now be a party favorite.
-
Everyone requests I make this for their party. I often double it because it goes so fast. Easy to make ahead of time. Atkins friendly if you dip celery.
-
this is a party hit.
-
My guests really enjoyed this. But by the time I got around to sampling it, the little bit that was left, was cold. I thought it seemed a little thick and dry … likely because it was cold. I even added more mozza than called for, and rather than putting it on top I mixed it right in. Will try again, but this time I’ll try it right out of the oven.
-
Nice, but a bit too heavy on the cream cheese. In future I’d use more spinich and perhaps less cream cheese. Tasty though!
-
I have made this several times and everyone loves it. I do add extra cloves of garlic, but otherwise I stick to the recipe.
-
This dip was GREAT!!! My husband begged me not to use “light” mayo, but i did anyway, and he couldn’t even tell!! I also put the mozzarella in the mixture, as some other people recommended, and it was delicious (i sprinkled a little more on top before baking)! I don’t even like spinach or artichokes, but loved this dip! I recently doubled the recipe for a dinner party, and it was a big hit! So creamy and yummy!!!!!
-
I made this for company and everyone loved it. I made it again for just my daughter and BF and we ate about half in one sitting-almost ashamed to say I ate the rest with bread for dinner the next day!
-
I took this dip to a party and cooked it there. It was a total hit! Very cheezy and rich with flavour… better than some dips I’ve had in restaurants! I served it with tortilla chips rather than bread. They should be thick tortilla chips so that you can scoop without the chip breaking!
-
I have tried several artichoke dip recipes and this one is by far the best! It has become “famous” among our friends and family; I make it for every gathering and it is always a favorite!
-
Apparently this dip was fabulous, as it disappeared before I had a chance to taste it!! Brought it to a christmas party and everyone raved about it and asked for the recipe
-
Yowza!! This was a fantastic hit at my party. Everyone raved about it….was a great addition to my party repertoire.
-
I love this recipe! I changed it a little though and there was an empty dish at the end of the night! I used 1/2 c. of mayo., 8oz. sour cream, 8oz. cream cheese, 1c. of the grated romano/parmesan cheese, 1tsp. minced garlic, 1c. shredded moz. cheese along with the spinach and artichokes. I mixed it all together and baked it with about 1/2c. of moz. cheese on top. Excellent!!!!
-
Excellent crowd pleaser… can’t make enuf! One problem is it hardens as it cools… anyone with suggestions?
-
This dip is fantastic. It tastes just like a dip in a restaurant locally. My daughter always orders it when we go out for lunch so it was fun to make it for her over Christmas. We all enjoyed it. Thanks for the recipe Tiffany.
-
Wonderful with tortilla chips & crackers. It is creamy, cheesy, yet has texture. All of my family and guests love this dip and always ask me for the recipe. You will love it too.!
-
I thought it was a good recipe. I took the advice of some of the other reviewers and I added 3/4 cup half and half to make it less dry.
It was to much next time maybe I’ll use 1/3 cup. otherwise it is a great recipe. -
My boyfriend loved this but I found it to be slightly on the dry side. I noticed after the fact that other reviewers found it dry as well. Take the advice of others and add some cream or something.
-
I made this appetizer for a superbowl party….everyone LOVED it! Mind you, I’m NOT a cook. It was excessively easy and tasted phenomenal! Everyone loved it.
-
I just made this for a dinner party and it was incredible!!! Everyone at the party loved it, in fact, I think it was better than anything I have had at a restaurant!! This will be made again and again!
-
This provided a great base I could work with to achieve my favorite dip at a local restaurant!
I made several changes – used different cheeses, fresh spinach (and used a little more), added a bit of olive oil, onion powder and garlic powder, parsley, and, on the advice of many reviewers, added some half and half.
-
I tried this over the weekend and have to say it was the best dip I have ever had. I added just a bit more spinach. My husband hates this kind of food and even he said, “This is awesome”!
Thanks!!! -
I used all low fat ingredients and added about 1/2 cup of low fat sour cream…came our wonderful!
-
This recipe is great!!!! My whole family loved it. I added even more spinach. I’m making it again tonight!
-
I get asked to make this dip all the time. My Aunt designated it a madatory dip over the Christmas Holidays. Thanks so much!
-
Extremely good! My picky 17 year old son (who doesn’t like anything green) really liked it! I was surprised! Made it for a birthday party and the family loved it. Added about 1/4 cup half-&-half to cut back on dryness and it worked well. Also bought the Italien Cheese blend and used a little more cheese than the recipe called for cuz we love cheese! Also topped with a diced roma tomato. Served with torilla chips. Next time I make it I’ll probably also serve with dark pumpernickel bread cubes and celery. Scrumptious and tastes like a restaurant appetizer!
-
This is better than I’ve had at restaurants. Very quick and easy to make. Didn’t have the spinach and it was still delicious.
-
I made this for a party I had and I didn’t even get to taste it. It was gone before I could get the rest of the appetizers on the table. It was a big hit. I will make this again and hopefully I will get to taste it! I did add a few more cloves of garlic because I love garlic and added a little bit of sour cream to make it creamier. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
-
Always a crowd pleaser!
-
OMG AMAZING
-
LOVE IT!!! I cannot get enough of this stuff. It is so delicious. I get excited everytime I have company, cause then I have an excuse to make this stuff.
-
Excellent!
-
This dip was awesome! I’ve made it four times in the last two weeks and we’re not tired of it yet. I tweaked it just a little; I used 1 tsp. crushed garlic for flavor, and added one half cup of sour cream. Delicious!
-
The recipe was fabulous! A big hit at the party I went to. I added extra garlic and I didn’t use fresh I used minced garlic. I also used a can and a half of artichoke hearts and added a little extra of all 3 cheeses. I would recommend this recipe to all!!! I will definitely be making this again!
-
NO, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH EATING IT RIGHT OUT OF THE DISH WITH A LARGE SPOON! Absolutely wonderful. I did substitute chopped broccoli for the spinach and added some FINELY chopped red onion.
-
This is a terrific recipe. I prefer using the pickled artichokes over the canned ones. It adds a flavor all its own. you will not regret trying this recipe!!
-
LOVED IT!! The only thing I did outside of the recipe was add more spinach. This is a great recipe!
2nd time I made it, I added 1/2 cup salsa and used pepperjack on top! YUM!! -
Enjoyed this appetizer very much. Very quick and easy to put together. Topped with shredded parmesan instead of mozz. Parm. doesn’t get hard as the dish cools. Served this with baked pita chips brushed with olive oil, garlic salt and parmesan. May try marinated artichokes next time for bolder flavor. Thanks for the great recipe!
-
I made this as an appetizer and it was incredible. Perfect! I will definitely make this one again-its a keeper!
-
I added 1\4 cup of extra spinach, (would add more next time) as well as extra garlic, and 1\3 cup of sour cream. it was okay but definately missing something…
-
Better than any restaurant style spin-dip!
-
Being me, I put a small bulb of garlic instead of a clove in and it made it really garlicky. But we love garlic so it was delish! I listened to another reviewer and placed parmesan cheese instead of mozzarella on top and it turned out fine. I just threw in the whole package of frozen spinach and compensated by putting more mayo, parmsan cheese, romano cheese, and salt. I also used reduced fat cream cheese to cut down the calories. It was a hit, my friend kept the leftovers and heated it up in the microwave for breakfast! Thanks for the awesome recipe!
-
OHMYGODDESS! This is to die for! thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou! Lol.
-
This recipe tasted almost exactly like some I had once at a Greek restaurant! I did make a few money saving modifications. First, I halfed the recipe since I was making it for the first time and there were only 4 of us to try it. Second, since Romano cheese is not exactly cheap, I substituted Monterey Jack cheese instead. And last I used minced garlic from a jar instead of fresh. It turned out awesome! Everyone really liked it. I also used marinated artichoke hearts, which gave it extra flavor. I can’t wait to make it again.
-
I made this for a football party and everyone loved it. It has a great flavor. I added an extra clove of garlic and it was perfect!
-
Defintely good… but not the best. I was looking more for something that didn’t have such a strong cheese taste, like applebee’s.
-
This Dip is absolutely awesome. Everyone that tasted it loved it. I will definitely be making it again and again. Thank you, thank you!
-
I’ve made this many times, always excellent. Wouldn’t change a thing; just microwave the leftovers.
-
This was very good. I did add more alfredo sause.
thanks Tiffany -
WONDERFUL! FAMILY LOVED IT AS WELL.. A STAPLE TO OUR COLLECTION. THANKS SO MUCH!
-
This is the first time I attempted to make a dip like this and it was very easy to make and didn’t take much time at all.
Everyone really enjoyed it and said how good it was. I did alter the recipe slightly based on other suggestions. I used 1/2 cup mayo (lowfat and no one noticed), I added more spinach, and I mixed the mozzerella in with everything else and only sprinkled a little on top. Next time I won’t sprinkle any mozzerella on top since it did get hard as others mentioned. Also, I used marinated artichokes and minced garlic to be sure it was as tasty as possible.
I plan to make this again soon and feel as though I have found “my dish” to take to parties.
-
This is my favorite Spinach Artichoke Dip! It’s the closest recipe,I’ve found, to the Spinach Artichoke Dip at favorite restaurant of mine! Perfectly cheesy and creamy!
-
I made it for a party and it was the first item to completely disappear.
-
This recipe is awesome. I served it at a family function & got rave reviews. My mother-in-law, who is an incredible cook (not to mention hard to please), absolutely loved this dip. She was eating it by the spoonfuls. I’ve never seen her so excited about food. Thanks for the fabulous recipe!
-
Everyone loved it! I put it in a bread bowl. It was so good!
-
Made this as an appetizer before Thanksgiving dinner. It was WONDERFUL! Served with bagette and carrs crackers – this will definitely be a party staple for us.
-
This was delicious, and a little less fattening – no alfredo sauce. I used low fat cream cheese and low fat mayo. Delicious staple for a party.
-
This recipe is very tasty. I wish I would have read the reviews prior to making it though because my dip did get hard from the mozzy as indicated in some of the other reviews. Overall though – the taste is delicious and it is extremely easy to make.
