If you’re anything like us, our fridge is filled with condiments. Things like your favorite store-bought sauces, mason jars of homemade romesco sauce, little experiments in the back corner, the works. Along the lines of condiments is one of the most beloved dips, spinach artichoke! This is always a popular favorite at potlucks and tailgates, but it’s usually loaded with mayonnaise and sour cream. So, in the name of health (and so that we can guzzle down even more of this stuff without guilt), today, we’re making a healthy spinach artichoke dip using Greek yogurt!
here’s what you’ll need
Greek Yogurt: The base of this healthy dip is protein-rich Greek yogurt! Learn to make your own Greek yogurt here or use plain store-bought yogurt. Cheeses: It’s not a cheesy artichoke dip without the cheese! We’ll use grated parmesan and mozzarella for maximum flavor and melty cheese goodness. Frozen Spinach: Thaw, then squeeze as much moisture from the spinach as possible before adding it to the mix. Canned Artichoke Hearts: Drain and cut the artichoke hearts into rough pieces. I recommend ones that are packed in just water. Extra Flavors: We’re adding fresh minced garlic for extra deliciousness. If you like it spicy, you can also add canned diced jalapeños!

While I prefer making this on the stove, you can make spinach artichoke dip in the oven, too! This is best if you want to have a melty cheese crust on top. Simply stir everything together (It’s easiest to do this with a hand mixer) and pour into an oven-safe dish. Top with a sprinkle of more cheese and bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes, until hot and bubbly.
