Spinach and Artichoke Dip is a delicious way to nosh on as an appetizer while dinner is getting ready. True story: There is a great restaurant Liz, myself, my kids and our entire family absolutely LOVE. It's called Houston's, and they have many restaurants nation wide, and we are lucky to have one right here in our town.
Anyway, every time we eat there, we always order the artichoke and spinach dip served with tortilla chips. It's delicious and very addicting!
So we tried to duplicate the dip. A little bit of this.... and a little of that.... and after a few batches in the making, we think we got pretty close to the one at Houston's. We served it the other night at a dinner party and everyone really loved it! Serve this appetizer dip warm with tortilla chips, sour cream, salsa and maybe a cold beer! Enjoy!

This looks perfect! I will have to give this recipe a try. My sister-in-law makes a mean spinach and artichoke dip topped with sharp cheddar but I think I would enjoy the mozzarella and Parmesan more! Thanks for sharing :)

yummy! i love spinach & artichoke! Looks incredibly delicious... thanks for sharing your recipe :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks great, healthy and tasty... but I've never eaten artichokes, we don't get them in India. Will probably substitute with cabbage or capsicum...
ReplyDeleteHi Karen! I recommend you only use spinach. No need to subsitute for the artichokes, the taste will still be delicious!
ReplyDeleteI adore spinach and artichoke dip and would be happy to munch on this all day long!
ReplyDeleteYum! I love a warm spinach dip - have a great super bowl!
ReplyDeleteWe used to have Houston's in Nashville (oddly, it may even have started here) It was, for many years, one's of Nashville's favored dining spots, and always garnered raves for their spin-artie dip. It is a winner!
