Warm Spinach and Artichoke Dip

Warm Spinach and Artichoke Dip is one of the best dips to make.  It is flavorful and creamy.  It tastes great with warm breads like focaccia, artisan, French, and pita.  Also, with a variety of chips.  You can also serve as a side to other dishes.  The white cheese blend adds to the flavor nodes.  So don’t be afraid to get a cheese blend of cheeses that you may not be familiar with.  The blend I used had Asiago, Romano and Parmesan, and it really enhances the flavor.

This dip can be made ahead and stored in the fridge or freezer.  You can also make the dip as creamy or cheesy as you like.  Just be careful with the salt because the cheese will already add the salt.  This is great to make for dinner, larger family gatherings, dinner parties, and large parties and events.  Serve it warm and watch it disappear.
