Copycat Olive Garden Hot Spinach and Artichoke Dip
"I found this recipe on a (since-forgotten) web-site years ago and have been making it since. It's a copycat of Olive Garden's Spinach and Artichoke dip. I find it extremely similar. Whenever I have to go somewhere that I bring an appetizer, this is always the one that is requested."

This is the recipe I use! It has the perfect texture. I've been using this for a couple years, although I too have no idea where I got it from. I use fresh spinach, wilted by microwaving it for a few minutes. I also add more garlic salt, a 1/4 tsp onion powder and some parsley. So yummy! -
Easy and yummy! Everytime I've made this to take to parties, they've cleaned the bowl. -
Loved this recipe! The last spinach artichoke dip I made was dry and it tasted like spinach and Parm cheese overload. This recipe is perfect! It’s creamy, has a great balance of all ingredients, and it tastes like a dip I would pay for at a restaurant. The only thing I added was1/4t of red pepper flakes for some kick. It’s a huge hit with everyone, and I will be making this more often.

<p>I currently live in West Virginia. I have two daughters, 10 and 7 yrs. I teach 4th grade at the small elementary school that they attend.<br /><br />Shortly before the birth of my youngest daughter, I started becoming interested in cooking, with great thanks to this site. I love trying new things. I used to collect cookbooks, and I still have quite a few, but since I've been a member of food.com, I have to admit that I don't use them much anymore. This is so much easier! <br /> <br />In addition to cooking, I enjoy spending time with my girls, reading, and shopping. I'm also a big Virginia Tech fan, hence my user name. It's where I went to school, so my loyalty lives on! </p>
