Tips Tricks and FAQs

- Dry your artichokes before cutting them. This helps them to stay together as you cut them.
- Adjust the garlic to your preference. You can add more or less without changing the consistency of the dip.
- You can use 1 cup of white cheddar and top with the rest, but not stir during baking.

If you want to make a healthy spinach artichoke dip you can use lower-fat cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise if you prefer. You will still get all the creaminess and flavor of the dish for a lot lower calories.
Can I use fresh spinach?
I recommend using frozen spinach because it is so easy and ready to go, but you can absolutely use fresh spinach as well. If you choose to use fresh spinach you will need to steam it and then blanch it in ice water and then squeeze out all the water prior to cutting it and adding it to the dip.

If you love your instant pot as much as I do, you must give her recipe a try.
