This flavorful and creamy dip recipe is so popular it might get in the way of the conversation when it’s being served (sorry!).

How to make Spinach Artichoke Dip
It can get controversial when it comes to people’s opinions on this popular dip! This version is the Hot spinach artichoke dip, the kind that’s baked and served hot. Spinach artichoke dip is also available cold: and we have a recipe for that too. Here’s our easy spinach dip: it’s served cold and takes just 10 minutes to make.
For this hot spinach artichoke dip, prepare a base similar to the cold spinach dip. But this one includes artichokes, parmesan cheese (delicious), and a trip into a hot oven. Here’s what you’ll do:
- Defrost frozen spinach and squeeze out all the moisture. You want to squeeze out as much moisture as possible so the dip doesn’t runny.
- Prepare the vegetables. They chop both the shallot and spring onion for the onion flavor as well as the tangy canned artichokes.
- Stir in Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, parmesan, and spices. Dill and garlic powder bring great flavor here.
- Garnish with Parmesan and bake for 20 minutes. Toss it in a small casserole dish and bake at 350 for 20 minutes.
What makes spin healthy?
What Makes This Spinach Artichoke Dip a Healthy Take on the Traditional? We wouldn’t call it a healthy food. But it has a few things that make it new and improved:
- It’s 3 parts Greek yogurt to 1 part mayonnaise. Greek yogurt reduces calories and richness while maintaining the super creamy dip. This recipe uses mayo for flavor and richness, but not as much as most spinach dips.
- Less cheese. Many standard spinach and artichoke dip recipes include both mozzarella and parmesan cheese. We sliced the mozzarella and opted for a moderate amount of parmesan. It totally works and you don’t miss it at all!
