I know I'm not the only person looking forward to New Year's Day and then the Super Bowl. Not only are there plenty of football games on television, to my son's delight, but snacks and appetizers reign supreme.

We love appetizers! We love snacks! We love chips! We love artichoke dip; especially this low carb spinach artichoke dip! I really and honestly feel that this is the BEST TASTING DIP AROUND!

My family thinks this is super. We've tested it on low carb bread, low carb crackers, veggies and spoons. Even the picky kid likes it. I like it because it's fast and easy to prepare.

BEST Low Carb Spinach Artichoke Dip!

When doing research for this particular recipe, I noticed that most spinach and artichoke dips share common ingredients in differing amounts. It's a forgiving recipe ready for additions and substitutions.

I kept many of the ingredients for this recipe the same, but played with the quantities until I had something close to what I wanted. The addition of feta cheese contributes a nice salty tang. A very-dry sherry provides subtle sophistication (think fondue) while a hint of red wine vinegar heightens the over-all flavor.

While the ingredient list seems long, it mostly consists of cheese, spinach and artichoke hearts. The other ingredients contribute to creaminess and outstanding flavor. One thing I really appreciate is good flavor and I strive to deliver the best tasting recipes I can. Why eat it if it doesn't taste great?

This recipe is fairly large (4 plus cups) and can be easily scaled in half for smaller gatherings. However, it is so good and versatile that you may want to make the whole quantity! Just an FYI... I have some recipes incorporating this great low carb spinach artichoke dip in the next few weeks. Try the 2-Bite Spinach Artichoke Stuffed Mushrooms!

      So delicious! I used some mascarpone cheese instead of sour cream and Apple cider vinegar instead of red wine vinegar. I used Monterey cheese because I didn’t have
      Mozzarella. . I left out the sherry because I didn’t have any. (I’ll have to pick some up.)
      This will be a regular rotation for my KETO diet. Thank you! :)

      I want to make this dip for my co-worker’s going away party since she is on the Keto diet. I don’t really like Feta cheese. I also don’t have sherry or red wine vinegar at home. If I eliminate the Feta, sherry, and red wine vinegar do you think that will drastically change the outcome of the recipe?

        Yes, those omissions will change the taste of this dip - which is amazing. There is an easier version in this post which also tastes great: https://www.lowcarbmaven.com/steak-shrimp-surf-turf-two/ . Enjoy! -Kim

            Yes, Nicole. The recipe is in the post as it was part of the dinner. It's pretty good. IF this makes you more comfortable, you can use this recipe - it may be the same recipe: https://www.lowcarbmaven.com/spinach-artichoke-pizza/ . Just don't put it on the pizza. Lol. Enjoy. -Kim

      My family loves this dip. We had marinated artichokes so I used that & used the juice in place of the wine & oil. Great recipe & will continue to make it. Thank you. Jill

      I really want to make this today but I have no artichokes. Do you recommend a substitution or can I just carry on, following the recipe, without them? Any need to adjust the other quantities if they are absent?

        I've never made this without the artichoke before, Julie. I'm having a mental block at what to suggest as a sub. Sorry. -Kim

      Spinach artichoke dip… What is the actual serving size I am sure there are not 144 cal in 1 g please. I love having the nutrition information posted but this one looks incorrect please. Thank you

        Hi E. No, it’s not 1 gram. That happened when we switched to a different program for our recipe cards. I evidently missed fixing this one. The recipe serves 8. In step number five, I mention that the recipe makes about 2 cups at 1/4 cup each. I do not have a weight measurement for you. I hope this helps. -Kim

        Actually, Brooke, those were my daughter's gluten free bread toasts. However, I like the Sukrin Break Mixes for things like this. You can roll the bread dough into logs to bake, slice thinly, brush with olive oil and toast in the oven. I also have some great cracker recipes on the site. I hope these ideas help. -Kim
