What goes into this recipe

Ingredients needed to make Spinach and Artichoke dip.
  • Frozen Spinach: Thaw out the spinach and squeeze the water out really well. This will give you just the right texture for your delicious dip. However, fresh spinach can also be used.
  • Canned Artichokes: Make sure you use the kind in brine or water, not marinated artichokes. They will be chopped up for the perfect earthy flavor.
  • Parmesan Cheese:  The perfect addition to give the dip a nice salty flavor.
  • Mozzarella Cheese:  Adding two types of cheeses rounds out the flavor and the mozzarella melts perfectly.
  • Greek Yogurt: Gives the creamy element to the spinach dip recipe without adding mayo. Sour cream would be a wonderful substitute.

Variations

This creamy dip is perfect for your next party! As I have noted, you can spice it up with red pepper flakes or black pepper if you’d like.

This hot spinach artichoke dip would also be great with feta cheese added for a little Mediterranean flair.

How to make Spinach & Artichoke Dip without Mayo

  1. Begin by preheating the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, mix together 14 ounces of chopped canned artichoke hearts, 9 ounces of thawed and drained frozen chopped spinach, 1 cup shredded mozzarella, ½ cup grated Parmesan, ½ cup Greek yogurt, and minced fresh garlic.
  2. Next, pour the mixture into a pie plate {or 8×8 square pan} that has been sprayed with nonstick spray. Spread it out into an even layer.

  2. Lastly, serve your delicious appetizer with your favorite chips or veggies.

Expert Tips

  • You need to squeeze ALL of the excess water out of the spinach before you add it to the bowl.  I like using frozen spinach that has been thawed.  To drain it, I take a clean kitchen towel {or paper towels}, put all of the spinach in the middle and over the sink I press and twist until all of the water in the spinach is gone.  As a result, you will end up with what looks like a small amount of spinach but it will distribute through the baked spinach artichoke dip. 
  • Don’t forget to grease your pie plate or pan before pouring in the spinach & artichoke dip. It helps the dip not stick and makes cleanup easier.
  • Keep an eye on the oven. When the dip is bubbly and golden on top after about 20 minutes, that’s your cue to take it out and enjoy!

Storage and Freezing

Store: For best results, cover any remaining dip with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. When stored in the refrigerator, the dip can be enjoyed within 2 days.

Freeze: Likewise, if you choose to freeze the dip for future use, place it in a freezer-safe container, ensuring it is tightly sealed. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw the frozen dip in the refrigerator before reheating.
