Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh organic spinach, chopped (about 4 ounces)
  • 1 can (14 ounces) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup organic full-fat sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (use avocado oil-based for cleaner ingredients)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder (optional, for anti-inflammatory benefits)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise until smooth.
  3. Stir in chopped spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, minced garlic, mozzarella, Parmesan, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and turmeric.
  4. Transfer mixture to a greased 8x8 baking dish or small oven-safe skillet.
  5. Bake for 20–25 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.
  6. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with gluten-free crackers, vegetable sticks (celery, cucumber, bell pepper), or sliced baguette-style gluten-free bread.

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes or in a skillet over low heat. This dip does not freeze well due to the dairy content.


Health Benefits Summary

Spinach is a bona fide superfood packed with vitamins A, C, and K, along with iron, magnesium, and folate that support bone health, immunity, vision, and cardiovascular function5. The phytonutrients in spinach, including lutein and zeaxanthin, protect against age-related macular degeneration and cataracts, while its high fiber content supports digestive health and weight management6. Artichokes provide more than 20% of the daily recommended fiber in a single serving and contain more antioxidants than any other cooked vegetable4. Artichokes naturally increase bile production, which aids liver detoxification and fat digestion, and their prebiotic inulin fiber promotes beneficial gut bacteria3,4. The sour cream in this recipe, when sourced as organic full-fat cultured cream, offers probiotics that support gut health and healthy fats like conjugated linoleic acid that reduce inflammation1. The optional turmeric adds curcumin, a powerful polyphenol with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties that supports liver detoxification and may help address conditions ranging from cardiovascular disease to heavy metal poisoning2.
