For a healthier option, swap out the mayo and cream cheese for nonfat Greek yogurt.

Are You Suppose to Eat Spinach Artichoke Dip Hot or Cold?
It can be eaten either hot or cold.
That’s the beauty of a good spinach artichoke dip!
This particular recipe is cooked hot and then consumed.
But I’ve seen lots of other recipes where it’s made cold with sour cream instead of cream cheese as part of the creamy base.
Why I Love This Spinach Artichoke Dip Recipe
While I love spinach dips, I can’t get enough of this hot spinach artichoke dip.
The additional flavor from the artichoke together with the creamy base is SO GOOD.
And as an aside, I prefer the cream cheese flavor in the base over sour cream.

It gets rave reviews every time I make it!
And as a fun addition for the holidays, consider dicing up a red pepper and cook that up with the onion to add seasonal color to the dish.
This dish is so versatile and can be tweaked in many different ways to suit a variety of dietary needs.
From scaling down the calories and fat with a nonfat Greek yogurt to using all fresh or just pantry ingredients, this recipe is very forgiving and packs a lot of flavor.
If you like a dish with a little more kick, add more hot sauce or start the onions with some crushed red pepper.
