Spinach and artichoke dip is one of those appetizers that I always order when I’m at a restaurant, but I had never attempted to make it myself until last week.

After conducting a bit of research on different ingredients, I came up with this skinny spinach dip, which doesn’t include any mayo or sour cream (and personally, I think it tastes way better!) I also use canned artichoke hearts.

Most recipes bake the dip in the oven, but I find it much easier and quicker to cook it in a pot on a stove top.

My favorite dippers are carrots, celery, and whole wheat pita chips!
