    Ingredients

    Spinach and Artichoke Hearts. Perhaps the most difficult part of this recipe is squeezing out the spinach and artichoke. You need to use a colander and/or cheesecloth. I used a piece of cheesecloth. Really squeeze out the water.

    The rest of the recipe is very easy. The entire process takes only about 15 minutes.

    Mayonnaise and Sour Cream. I’ve use ½ cup of each for a total of 1 cup. You can reduce this to ¼ cup of each, if you prefer. If you don’t have one of them, it’s okay to add ½ cup of only the other. For a little more creamy, add more. You could also use plain Greek yogurt instead.

    The cream cheese is going to add most of the creaminess, so the rest is secondary. Use what you have available.

    If your dip is too thick, try adding a little milk.

    Can This Dip Be Served Hot?

    Yes, definitely! I know that I’ve made “Cold Spinach Artichoke Dip” but it’s honestly delicious hot or cold. I really love it cold, personally, but I’m not going to turn it down hot, golden and bubbly.

    You can heat it in a 350° oven for about 25 minutes. Serve it with bread cubes or even tortilla chips.

    Why Is My Dip Watery?

    I can think of two reasons this can happen. The first reason is obvious. You need to remove as much liquid as possible from both the frozen spinach and the artichoke hearts. If you have too much water, it will certainly make the dip watery.

    The other reason isn’t as obvious. If someone is double-dipping or eating the dip with a spoon and sticking the spoon back into the container, you’re going to have a saliva situation.

    Not getting too technical, there are enzymes in saliva which start digesting food. So, if you get some in your food, it’s going to start breaking it down, even if it’s in a container in the refrigerator.

    How To Store

    You can store leftover spinach artichoke dip in the refrigerator for about 5 days. Cover it with plastic wrap or in an airtight container.

    How To Use The Leftover Dip

    You can eat a serving of the dip on the side of any meal. Eating it with a spoon is perfectly fine. You can eat it with crackers, bread cubes or chips. To make it more healthy, use celery and carrot sticks or cucumber slices instead.

    Use the dip to replace mayonnaise on a sandwich. Toss with a fresh batch of hot pasta. Spread it on a pizza and top with with mozzarella. With all these different ideas, you won’t have to worry about freezing it.

    Can You Freeze Spinach Artichoke Dip?

    This dip can be frozen in an airtight container, although I wouldn’t call it optimal. Freezing any dairy will usually change the texture. It will produce ice crystals which could make the dip watery when thawed.

    Freeze it up to 3 months, but it’s not my favorite way to use up the leftovers.
