The sour cream brings a tangy flavor while keeping enough fat content in the recipe to keep it from breaking the melted cheese sauce. Please don’t replace the sour greek with fat free greek yogurt and think the consistency will be the same.

Spinach Artichoke Dip Recipe
Dips are a fantastic party appetizer for a crowd and spinach artichoke dip is a classic fan favorite dish you can’t go wrong with. One of the reasons it likely became so popular is that the spinach and artichoke ingredients make people often question, “Is Spinach Artichoke Dip healthy? ” I wish the answer to this question was yes, but no, it isn’t any healthier than any other pile of melted cheese.
In fact its basically nachos with spinach. So don’t make this recipe under the assumption it is healthy. My version pumps up the Parmesan flavor, uses fresh garlic instead of powdered and I skip the mayonnaise all together in favor of sour cream. Spinach Artichoke dip with no mayo is a great flavorful version.
What chips go best with spinach artichoke dip?
Sturdier tortilla chips and crispy sliced baguettes are the best for enjoying spinach artichoke dip as the dip can sometimes bend or break thin chips and soft baguettes.
Can you use fresh spinach in place of frozen?
Yes, absolutely, cook it down with some olive oil and once fully wilted let cool then squeeze all the liquid out of the spinach before adding to the recipe.

Can you freeze this Spinach Artichoke Dip?
I don’t recommend freezing this dip as it contains sour cream which can break the sauce when unfrozen. Even if you use mayonnaise it will also break the cheese sauce upon defrosting.
