The perfect thing to eat. Low Carb Spinach and Artichoke Dip.
To be honest, I could eat this without dipping anything but a fork in it.
Low Carb Spinach and Artichoke Dip
This is part one of an upcoming recipe called skillet bread with spinach and artichoke dip.
I love the convenience of this idea. Also, I like the low carb aspect of it too.
I am always looking for low carb ideas when I am living the lifestyle.
Finding new and unique recipes helps break up the monotony of any diet. Even low carb diets, or low carb lifestyles.
This dip has many uses.
Sure, you can bring it to that picnic, potluck, or other gathering. However, this tip actually goes great in salads, wraps, and well…skillet bread (as I will show you in a few days).
If you are anticipating my skillet bread, as I am too, then you may want to find a cast iron skillet.
Where I live, the big box stores only seem to carry one size skillet from not a lot of manufacturers. If you were to visit my local big chain store you will maybe find one cast iron skillet. Also, there is only one size of that skillet as well. However, you can find a great variety of cast iron skillets online and in different sizes too.

Low Carb Spinach and Artichoke Dip
The recipe for Low Carb Spinach and Artichoke Dip
This dip can be served warm or cool. I will show you in an upcoming post another really cool way to serve it as well.
Here is what you will need to make this.
- Cream Cheese- 1 (8 ounce) package.
- Mayonnaise- 1/4 cup (you could also sub in a mayonnaise-based dressing, which is what I sometimes will do.)
- Sour Cream- 1/4 cup. Sour cream is basically carb-free. However, you could sub in Greek Yogurt (which does have a few carbs in it) if you desire.
- Frozen Chopped Spinach that has been thawed- 1 cup.
- Chopped Artichoke Hearts (from a can or jar)- 1 cup.
- Grated/Shredded Cheese, 1 cup total. Use a variety to get the most diverse taste. Cheese that you can use include: Cheddar(I am a sharp person), Parmesan, Romano, Colby Jack Blend, and/ or Mozzarella. Just make sure that you get a cup of cheese in total. We will add the cheese divided.
- Optional Items: bacon bits (1/2 cup), Hot Sauce (as tolerated), seasonings to taste or packet of dry ranch dressing mix, chopped chestnuts 1/2 cup, and/or some kind of chopped or ground meat (think pepperoni or leftover turkey tacos for example) 1/4-1/2 cup. As far as optional items go, I would suggest using at least one and no more than three for a good personalized taste.
