Ingredients and Substitutes
This section explains how to choose the best ingredients for Roasted Spinach Artichoke Dip, what each ingredient does in the recipe, and substitution options.For measurements, see recipe card below.
- olive oil – For sauteed spinach. Any cooking oil can be used here.
- spinach – I prefer fresh spinach, but frozen is fine too. If you’re using frozen spinach, you can even skip sautéing it, but you do need to thaw, drain and squeeze out any excess water.
- artichoke hearts – I used Artichoke hearts in water, but the one in oil works too. Either way, be sure to drain and squeeze them so your dip doesn’t run thin. Cut into bite-sized pieces.
- cream cheese – Full fat tastes best, but light or neufchatel will work too.
- mayonnaise – Any brand will do, but I like to make my own homemade mayonnaise (It only takes a few minutes!).
- sour cream – Along with mayonnaise and cream cheese, sour cream makes the dip creamier. Greek yogurt can be substituted if desired. Or you can simply replace the sour cream with more mayonnaise – the cream cheese still has some flavor.
- cheese – Grated (or shredded) Parmesan cheese and shredded mozzarella cheese hold the whole recipe together. If you like extra cheesy spinach and artichoke dressing, feel free to add more.
- garlic – I think the best spinach artichoke dip recipe uses fresh minced garlic, but you can also use shock For convenience, or substitute with 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
- Black pepper – The recipe does not require extra salt as many ingredients are already salty, but I like to add black pepper. You can also add crushed red pepper if you like extra heat.
