Frequently Asked Questions
Can Spinach Artichoke Dip be assembled ahead?
Yes. Mix and cover it up to one day ahead, refrigerate, and bake shortly before serving. A cold dish may need a few extra minutes in the oven.
Why is my spinach artichoke dip watery?
The spinach or artichokes likely retained moisture. Squeeze spinach in a clean towel and drain the artichokes thoroughly before mixing.
Can I make the dip without mayonnaise?
Replace the mayonnaise with additional sour cream or thick Greek yogurt. The dip will be slightly tangier and less rich.
