Here’s What You’ll Need
You would never guess how simple the ingredients are for this wholesome spinach artichoke dip! Not to mention super easy to find. Here’s what you’ll need:
Plain Yogurt – That’s right! The base of this recipe is yogurt. Making it a healthier version of the classic recipe, but definitely not sacrificing on flavor!
Cheese – Cream cheese + fresh mozzarella + grated parmesan make up the cheese component in this recipe. I like using low-fat cream cheese for a lighter swap, but any type of cream cheese is great!
Garlic – Freshly minced garlic is the best way to go for the ultimate flavor. However, garlic powder (opens in a new tab) is also a great option!
Artichoke Hearts – These canned artichoke hearts (opens in a new tab) are easy to use in this recipe.
Spinach – Lots and lots of spinach! You know how it is. You put loads of spinach in just for it to cook down to 1 Tbsp. So we’re putting in a bunch, and feel free to add more as desired!
Chopped Red Onion – Totally optional, but it takes this recipe to another level of deliciousness! Mix it in to the spinach artichoke dip or use just a little bit on top for garnish.
Lemon – Lemon is also optional, but I love the bright flavors balanced by the garlic and cheese. I think it also compliments the artichokes and makes this recipe extroardinary!
