A well-loved classic, this rich, creamy, veggie-packed version of spinach-artichoke dip is sure to become a favourite. It is crucial to squeeze out the excess water in the spinach so that the final dip is not too watery. The water chestnuts add a nice crunch, but if they’re not your thing, just add in more artichokes. This hot dip is great with classic dippers like carrot and celery sticks, or you can serve it with crackers or tortilla chips.
