Notes
Pro Tips
Squeeze spinach very dry - excess moisture makes watery dip. Fresh artichokes can be used but canned are traditional. Serve in the skillet for rustic appeal.
History & Origin
Spinach artichoke dip became a restaurant chain staple in the 1990s, beloved for its rich, crowd-pleasing combination of cheese, vegetables, and dippable format.
