Spinach Artichoke Dip

There’s a restaurant around my home that serves a delicious Spinach and artichoke dip. Ever since I tried it, I fell in love with the flavor and creamy texture. Unfortunately, getting a table at that place is hard. since they’re always full.
So, I tried to re-create the recipe many times. Always failing. It was frustrating that I couldn’t get the flavor right. Either it was too dry, too soupy, or too salty. After many failures I am happy to report that I finally got it.
This Spinach Artichoke dip is creamy, cheesy and full of flavor. The perfect appetizer to accompany bread, chips, pretzels or even crudités. You can make it in advance and bake at the last minute. That way, you can serve it straight out of the oven. Prepare some extra because this is the kind of dip that will fly out the door in seconds.
Now that sports season is in full swing. You can make this yummy dip for parties and get togethers. That way, you can put it on a table in front of the TV. Enjoy!
