Easy Spinach and Artichoke Dip Recipe









Everyone has a favorite spinach dip recipe, so I’m going avoid any claims of saying it’s the best. But I will say, I hope you try it.

At its root, it’s pretty basic – sauté and wilt the spinach in garlic, throw in the artichokes and add the creamy body. I use whipped ricotta over cream cheese to keep it lighter in texture, sour cream for some tang, a few smashed capers for a bit of briny-ness and leeks for added flavor.
It’s not traditional in making, but it disappears in the traditional way of being scraped clean in 15 minute.
