What To Serve With It
I love serving my spinach artichoke dip with crispy chips and crackers—they’re perfect for scooping up every last bite. If I’m feeling a little healthier, I’ll pair it with a colorful crudité platter, since the fresh veggies balance out the rich dip so well. Either way, you can’t go wrong, and your guests will keep coming back for more.
Chips and Crackers
There’s nothing like a crispy chip or a crunchy cracker to scoop up that creamy spinach artichoke dip, and I’ve got some favorites you’ll love. Tortilla chips are always a winner—they’re sturdy and hold up well to thick dips. For something lighter, pita chips add a nice toasty flavor. If you’re feeling fancy, opt for baguette slices or crostini; their crispiness is perfect. On the cracker side, I’m a fan of buttery Ritz or whole-grain options for a bit of texture. Don’t forget flavored crackers like rosemary or sea salt—they add an extra layer of yum. You can’t go wrong with any of these!
Crudité Platter
When I’m looking for a healthier option to pair with spinach artichoke dip, I always turn to a colorful crudité platter. It’s fresh, crunchy, and adds a nice balance to the creamy dip. I like to include sliced bell peppers, cucumber spears, baby carrots, cherry tomatoes, and broccoli florets. Sometimes, I’ll throw in some celery sticks or radishes for extra crunch. The variety of colors makes it look inviting, and it’s a great way to sneak in veggies. Plus, it’s easy to prepare ahead of time, leaving me more time to enjoy the dip and the company of my guests.
