This warm, cheesy dip is one of the amazing dips for this season! This is loaded with baby greens - baby spinach, kale, and chard. The fresh winter greens are full of flavors and are nutritious. This dip is great for a fun and delicious family snack as well for any party. This is an amazing one for gameday!
This recipe uses jarred artichokes in oil. Canned artichokes can be used too. If using fresh artichokes, process them and then use in the recipe. If you can't find baby greens, use regular spinach instead and that would be exactly delicious too! Also, I have used my vegan parmesan. Feel free to use regular parmesan if you wish. Also, sprinkle a little extra on top too. Since parmesan will a bit salty, add salt accordingly.
If you are wondering what to serve this dip, here are the quick and easy ones to pair with. These are amazing with sliced baguettess, tortilla chips, pita chips, and salt crackers. This can be easily whipped up even in the last minute to entertain guests. The leftovers (if any!) can be used for making quesedillas or grilled cheese too!
I am sharing this for Bakeathon 2021 and this is the final post for the same event. We shared baked recipes all through the month of December. This is the perfect season to bake and share with everyone. I also linking this to Foodie Monday Blog Hop, where we are sharing recipes with winter greens. This is the season for fresh spinach, kale, and chard and a perfect dip for the theme as well as the season. A warm dip is very comforting!
