Ingredients You’ll Need

- 1/4 cup minced shallot: Adds a subtle onion flavor without overpowering the dip. You could substitute with red onion if preferred.
- 2 green onions: For a fresh, mild onion bite. They also add a nice pop of color.
- 14-ounce can quartered artichokes (8.5 ounces dry weight): Brings a tangy taste; avoid marinated artichokes to keep the dip balanced.
- 1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt: This wholesome ingredient gives creaminess while being lower in fat than traditional creams.
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise: Adds a hint of richness and depth. You can use Greek yogurt as a substitute for a lighter dip.
- 3/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping: Provides a nutty, salty flavor that complements the spinach and artichokes perfectly.
- 1/4 teaspoon dried dill: This herb gives the dip a fresh, slightly grassy note. Fresh dill can work as well if you have it on hand.
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder: Enhances the overall flavor profile without the need for fresh garlic which can overpower delicate notes.
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt: Adjust based on your preference, but a bit of salt is essential to balance flavors.
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper: Adds a gentle warmth to the dip.
- Paprika, for sprinkling: Not just for flavor, but for a touch of color on top.
- For serving: pita chips or bread: These make excellent dippers—crisp and sturdy enough to hold the delicious dip.
How to Make Spinach Artichoke Dip with Greek Yogurt

Preheat: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This ensures that when your dip is ready, it goes right into a hot oven for perfect melting.
Thaw the spinach: Remove the 10 ounces of frozen chopped spinach from the freezer, allowing it to thaw completely. Then, place it in a strainer and use your hands to squeeze out as much moisture as you can. This step is crucial; too much water can make your dip watery.
Prep your veggies: Mince the 1/4 cup of shallot finely, slice the 2 green onions thin, and roughly chop the quartered artichokes from the can. Each vegetable contributes different layers of flavor and texture.
Mix everything together: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the squeezed spinach, minced shallot, green onions, and chopped artichokes. Add in the 1 1/2 cups of Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, and 3/4 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese, along with the dried dill, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, kosher salt, and ground black pepper. Give everything a good mix until all the ingredients are fully combined, then taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
Spread and bake: Transfer your dip mixture into a small baking dish, spreading it into an even layer. Top with a sprinkle of additional shredded Parmesan for a cheesy crown and, if desired, a few shakes of paprika for added color. Bake in your preheated oven for about 20 minutes. The dip should be bubbly around the edges and the top nicely melted.
Serve warm: Pair your warm spinach artichoke dip with crispy pita chips or toasted bread. It’s perfect for sharing—though you might want to keep it close to avoid having it all disappear too quickly.
Storing & Reheating
To store your dip, allow it to cool completely before placing it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for up to three days. If you’re considering making it ahead, you can prepare it up to three days in advance; just cover it tightly and refrigerate. Reheat in a 350-degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes until warmed through. For longer storage, you can freeze it for up to three months, but note that the texture may change slightly upon thawing. A quick stir before serving helps refresh its creaminess.
Chef’s Helpful Tips
- Squeeze that spinach: Ensuring you remove excess moisture is key to a thick and rich dip.
- Mix it up: Want more flavor? Try adding some red pepper flakes for a bit of kick or a splash of lemon juice for brightness.
- Cheese variations: Feel free to experiment with different cheeses like mozzarella or Monterey Jack for varied flavors.
- Timing matters: If you’re making this for a party, bake it fresh just before guests arrive. The aroma will draw everyone in!
- Make-ahead magic: Prepare the dip a day ahead and simply pop it in the oven when you’re ready to serve.
