Can You Make Spinach Artichoke Dip Ahead of Time?

Tips for Making the Best Spinach Artichoke Dip

Make sure to squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the artichoke hearts and frozen spinach.

You can use fresh spinach instead of frozen.

Let the cream cheese come up to room temperature before assembling the dip.

Grate your parmesan and mozzarella yourself rather than buying pre-shredded cheese – this will help it melt more evenly.

Spinach Artichoke Dip Variations

One of the easiest ways to customize your spinach artichoke dip is to change the cheeses. Instead of mozzarella and parmesan, try goat cheese, Swiss, fontina, gouda, gruyere, manchego, mascarpone, or provolone.

Add a dollop of wholegrain mustard or some chopped green olives for more depth.

Add chili peppers like jalapenos for a spicy kick.

Use a combination of kale or collard greens with spinach.

You can also omit the mayonnaise and swap out the sour cream for Greek yogurt for a lighter, healthier spinach dip.

To make slow cooker spinach artichoke dip, simply cook the dip on high for 1 hour or on low for 2 to 3 hours.

How to Store and Reheat Homemade Spinach Artichoke Dip

Once cooled, you can wrap your spinach artichoke dip and store it in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat it in the microwave.
