    Here's What You Need

    This appetizer recipe is super easy to make with just a few simple ingredients.

    Individual Ingredients for Spinach Artichoke Dip Without Mayo.

    Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

    • cream cheese - Room temperature.
    • sour cream - May substitute greek yogurt.
    • shredded mozzarella - May substitute different types of cheeses like Chihuahua, or asiago cheese.
    • grated parmesan cheese
    • artichoke hearts - Drained and chopped. Don't have artichokes? That's ok, leave them out and make a basic spinach dip recipe instead. It'll still be super tasty.
    • Jalapeños - Canned, drained and diced. Hot diced jalapeños are always a hit. But mild are tasty, too. May substitute mild diced green chilis, red pepper flakes (cayenne pepper), or a few shakes of hot sauce.
    • frozen spinach - Thawed and drained. May substitute fresh spinach.
    • garlic powder - May substitute 1 clove of fresh minced garlic.
    • salt
    • ground black pepper
    • onion powder - Optional.

    Variations

    • Add a protein - like shredded chicken, crab, chopped shrimp.
    • Make it spicy - add chopped red bell pepper, fresh chopped chili peppers, or salsa.

    Pro Tips

    Make It With Fresh Spinach - Fresh ingredients are always more flavorful. Substitute fresh instead of frozen spinach and fresh minced garlic instead of garlic powder.

    Sauté minced garlic in a little olive oil over medium heat. Add 4 cups of fresh chopped spinach and a squeeze of lemon juice. Once the spinach has wilted, drain out the excess liquid by squeezing the cooked spinach in some paper towels.

    The best way to keep it warm at parties is in a crock pot. Then, the cheese will remain loose and ready for that perfect cheese pull when you dip into it.

          I have been looking specifically for a mayo free artichoke dip for the longest time! My mom doesn’t like mayonnaise at all but she loves spinach artichoke dip. I can’t wait to share this with her! Thank you Seanna!
