Can we all just agree that the best part of winter might be the warm and hearty, stick-to-your-bones food that accompanies it? I mean, in addition to the fabulous winter clothes, cozy blankets, and general merry-making. This Artichoke Spinach Dip is a fantastic way to embrace the cold winter air with a delicious salty + savory warm-up.
How to serve Artichoke Spinach Dip
This artichoke spinach dip pairs well with sliced baguette, tortilla chips, pork rinds, bake parmesan crisps (because you can never have too much cheese), or veggies like celery or bell peppers.
On the off chance you actually have leftovers
This Artichoke Spinach Dip is superb as a filling for stuffed mushrooms or baby bell peppers. It's so good I slathered a bit on top of toast and topped it with a fried egg for breakfast one morning. No regrets.

I love this dip! It does make a lot. Can I freeze it?
★★★★★
Thank you! I have not personally tried freezing it, but I will add it to my list to test. If you try it I would love to hear about your experience.
I made this twice this week! Once as a dry run (and because i couldn't wait to try it) and then once for a party, where it was a big hit.
The flavors blend perfectly. You end up with two pounds of vegetables and two pounds of cheese! It is very hearty and could easily be a side dish as opposed to a dip.
I am thinking of adding zucchini and onions and making it as a vegetable dish next time, also trying different cheeses for fun.
★★★★★
I can never get enough of a creamy dip, and then when you put in Gruyere? Talk about my perfect dip! Thanks for sharing. This is always such a hit.
★★★★★
We started liking artichokes and can't wait to try this recipe, looks delicious and cheesy.
★★★★★
I can't stop looking at this delicious dip, artichoke spinach dip is one of my most favorite dip. I can't believe this is made keto friendly. Just perfect. Can't wait to give it a try
★★★★★
Spinach artichoke dip is always such a hit at parties. It's great that you made this version Keto!!
Oh, MY!! The artichoke dip looks so good. I could make that into my meal. I wouldn't even need bread - crudités would be fine with me. That melting cheese is making my mouth water. We have a jar of artichokes in the pantry that would be great in this recipe.
★★★★★
I totally agree about making it into a meal. I have definitely slathered this on some GF toast and topped it with an egg - so good!
That is a whole lot of good cheese in there! I follow a low carb diet and this looks delicious! It will be great for when I have book club and need to bring something keto friendly for me and my friends!
★★★★★
It's one of those fun "indulgent" dishes that you don't have to tell anyone is low carb. So much melty goodness!
This brings me back to my first date with my hubby, the restaurant was famous for their spinach artichoke dip!! I have never tried to make it myself, though this has me inspired...and drooling!
I bet this would be a really fun dish to make for a spectacular night in then!
Before I comment on your recipe, I just wanted to say that the phrase "merry-making" is now mine. I have adopted/stolen it from you. I love it! 🙂
Ok, on to serious stuff - I'm really thinking hard about jumping on the keto wagon, and you might have just convinced me. This dip looks and sounds amazing! I completely digging the addition of the mustard powder and red chili flakes! Oh, and I would TOTALLY eat this for breakfast on toast too!
★★★★★
Ha! Merry-making is one of my favorite phrases too. The fella does Keto and loves it. I am a little bit more flexible with my carbs, but with dishes like this I totally don't miss them. It's awesome served with some low carb veggies or pork rinds to keep it Keto.
I am loving the combination of cheeses with the red pepper flakes! I also love the different dipping item options like pork rinds or bake parmesan crisps- I would have never thought of those and it sounds really good.
★★★★★
Well, I can't but agree with you - you are right on spot there! One of the best things about winter for me is all the special-winter-type of food that I make so this dip will be a fantastic addition! Can't wait!
★★★★★
That is such a creamy, cheesy and delicious dip. Love that it is Keto - I'm looking for keto recipes for my husband and this one looks just perfect to try.

Artichokes are one of my favourite things in the world! And this dip looks just incredible, looking at the photos gives me all sorts of cravings!
