TIPS FOR MAKING INSTANT SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP
- You can use fresh spinach If you prefer
- Don’t skip the step of draining the thawed frozen spinach. otherwise you will end up with excess liquid in the sauce and it will be a bit runny or watery.
- Chop the canned artichoke hearts into smaller pieces if desired. It really depends on how thick you prefer your sauce to be.
- If you prefer a lighter dressing, consider using a low-fat cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream.
- You can use another mild flavored cheese for this dip if you don’t have Monterey Jack cheese or don’t like it. The best option I can think of would be the mozzarella.
- If you have a small amount of dip leftovers, heat it up with a little cream and use it to top some pasta or use it as a topping on grilled chicken breasts. It’s also super delicious as a spread on toasted sandwiches!
