THE BEST SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP
This is our best version of the classic party dip. It's savory and creamy with a slight tang from sour cream and Parmesan -- so hard to resist. We like to use frozen whole leaf spinach and chop it ourselves for more control over the finished texture of the dish.

Add the spinach to the cream cheese mixture, breaking it up as you add it. Add the artichokes, mozzarella and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan, mixing to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and top with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.

CREAMY CHEESY SPINACH DIP
This recipe doesn't contain mayo or sour cream like most, so it's very cheesy and very delicious. I'm asked for the recipe every time I make it. For those who don't want a strong cheese like Cheddar, you can replace it with anything you like or even leave it out altogether. I like adding the Cheddar because it adds color and a little more flavor.

Tips:
- Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach imparts a vibrant green color and a crisp texture to the dip. If using frozen spinach, thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess water before use.
- Chop the spinach finely: Finely chopped spinach blends better into the dip and makes it smoother.
- Use a good quality cream cheese: A high-quality cream cheese will result in a smooth and creamy dip. Avoid using whipped cream cheese, as it can make the dip too airy and light.
- Soften the cream cheese to room temperature: This will make it easier to mix with the other ingredients and will help to create a smooth dip.
- Use a variety of cheeses: Using a combination of cheeses, such as Parmesan, mozzarella, and cheddar, will add a complex flavor to the dip.
- Don't overmix the dip: Overmixing can make the dip too thick and pasty. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Chill the dip before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and will make the dip easier to scoop.
- Garnish the dip before serving: A sprinkle of chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, or a drizzle of olive oil will add a finishing touch to the dip.

With its creamy texture, vibrant green color, and delicious flavor, this ultimate spinach dip is sure to be a hit at any party or gathering.
