Hot spinach, artichoke & sun-dried tomato dip served with toasted crostini and Ritz crackers

When it comes to parties, I’m a huge lover of dips! I mean think about it, what could be a better appetizer?! You can make it ahead time, scoop it in a bowl, serve it with chips and you’re done! Easy-peasy, right?! And whenever I think about a party dip my mind automatically thinks “spinach artichoke!” Warm, gooey cheese, fresh from the oven served with crispy salty chips….umm yummmm! But you know what would make it even better?? Adding sun-dried tomatoes! Yep this spinach artichoke & sun-dried tomato dip is a new favorite in our family and such a fun spin on a classic! Plus it takes no time at all to make and is perfect for any type of party!

Ingredients

Cream cheese: Use block cream cheese for the best results. (Reduced fat or original both work for this recipe.)
Greek yogurt: Always use plain greek yogurt! (I prefer using 0% yogurt but any type of plain greek yogurt will work.)
Sour cream: Adds extra creaminess!
Mozzarella & Parmesan: Try to use block cheese that you can grate yourself. (They tend to have more flavor and melt much better than pre-shredded cheese.)
Fresh spinach: One 8oz bag of fresh spinach is all you need!
Canned artichokes: Look for artichokes in brine and not marinated. (Marinated artichokes will be too oily for this recipe.) I usually use artichoke quarters if I can find them.
Sun-dried tomatoes: Use sun-dried tomatoes in oil and not the ones dried in a bag. The tomatoes from a jar have much more flavor and won’t be as chewy as the ones from the bag.
Garlic: Every good recipe needs a little garlic!😉
Seasonings: Salt & red pepper flakes are all you need for this dip recipe!

How To Make Sun-Dried Tomato Spinach Artichoke Dip

Prepare the spinach. Add your spinach to a pan and sauté it over medium high heat until it’s bright green and wilted. (About 2-3 minutes.) Then transfer it to a bowl to cool. Once it’s cool enough to handle, wrap your spinach in a paper towel and wring out as much liquid as possible. Then chop it up and set it aside.
Prepare the rest of your ingredients. Shred your cheeses, drain and chop the sun-dried tomatoes and artichokes and mince your garlic.
Mix your ingredients together. Add all your ingredients to a large bowl and stir.
Bake. Turn your oven on to 350 degrees and spray a casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. Then pour your dip mixture into the pan and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the dip is bubbling.
Serve! Serve immediately with your favorite crackers

What To Serve With Your Spinach Dip

If you’re anything like me, you could easily eat this dip by the spoonful. But it’s also called a “dip” for a reason so here are a few of our favorite crackers and condiments to serve with it.

Milton’s Gluten Free Crackers (Best crackers ever!)
Ritz
Crostini (Homemade or store bought)
Pita chips
Tortilla chips
Sliced veggies (For the more health conscious)

*This dip is pretty thick so make sure whichever cracker you use is sturdy enough to stand up to it.
