The best spinach artichoke dip is a top-five appetizer. Sure, it’s mostly mayonnaise and/or sour cream and/or cream cheese, but, you guys, it’s still mostly vegetable. How many dips can say that? Not queso. Not even French onion dip, and that stuff is named after a (French) vegetable. But a good, flavorful spinach dip belongs in the hall of fame of veggies. The slight bitterness and subtle sweetness of spinach cuts through fatty ingredients to give us leafy, earthy bliss. Add some artichokes to the mix, and we’re heading to tang town, baby.
In three separate taste tests, we set out to find the best spinach dip, the best spinach artichoke dip, as well as the best vegan spinach artichoke dip. We looked for dip that either tastes homemade or like it came from a restaurant kitchen. The dip itself should be creamy and chunky; anything too thin didn’t make our ranking. We wanted flavor, lots of vegetables, and, of course, seasoning, seasoning, more seasoning. Get your bread bowl ready, because this is all the best spinach at the grocery store.

- Rabbit Hole Foods Creamy Plant-Based Spinachoke Dip
-
This vegan spinach artichoke dip is loaded with tangy, citrusy artichokes. The spinach is definitely there, but the artichokes shine brightest. The tang is incredible; there’s a lot of lemon juice, vinegar, pepper, salt, and leeks to make this taste fragrant and bright. The creamy base is made from vegan mayo, so it’s missing that eggy, cheesy vibe that most spinach dip lovers crave. But this is still very thick and flavorful. It’s “vegan food can be great” exhibit A, for me. Way to go, Rabbit Hole. —Danny Palumbo

- Kite Hill Spinach Artichoke Dip
-
We still love Rabbit Hole’s Spinachoke Dip, but this new vegan spinach artichoke dip from Kite Hill is definitely the best vegan spinach dip. It’s so much zestier and cheesier and more flavorful than Rabbit Hole, but they remain tied for a few reasons. I’ll be honest: Kite Hill is a litttttle light on actual spinach and artichokes, while Rabbit Hole spinach dip is absolutely PACKED with spinach. We tried a few vegan spinach dips that were super light on spinach—why?? Last time I checked, spinach was vegan! Give us spinach! Anyway, this Kite Hill spinach dip, which is almond based, is much saltier and tangier and more fun to eat as part of a party spread. It’s thick, though. You could probably use this as a vegan bagel spread, to be perfectly honest. But it really tastes good. It’s dairy free, soy free, gluten free, non-GMO, vegan, kosher, and it’s made from live cultures. Even if you aren’t hosting vegans, people who don’t consume dairy for other reasons will definitely love this dip—in fact, I think everyone at the party will. —Gwynedd Stuart
- Park Street Deli Spinach Artichoke Tzatziki
-
Aldi’s Park Street Deli Spinach Artichoke Tzatziki Dip is the best spinach artichoke dip for anyone interested in trying something different. It’s the perfect mix of spinach artichoke dip and tzatziki. It has a nice yogurt flavor and a mild cucumber-y essence, but you still taste plenty of spinach and artichoke, too. Just be careful when checking out at Aldi! We didn’t like the Park Street Deli Spinach Parmesan Tzatziki Dip and don’t want you to accidentally buy that one. —Jordan Myrick

- Park Street Deli Spinach Dip
-
If you’re serving dip at a party where both spinach lovers and spinach haters will be in attendance, this is the best spinach dip to serve. It’s creamy, rich, and super flavorful. It’s so herby that it has an almost ranch dressing-like quality. The spinach is definitely present, but it’s very finely chopped and not overpowering. This would be great with crackers, potato chips, or as a dip for crudite. We love a versatile product! —Jordan Myrick

- Good & Gather Spinach Artichoke Dip
-
Good & Gather Spinach Artichoke Dip tastes like fresh spinach and canned artichokes—and I mean that in a good way. You get such a delicious briney flavor from the artichokes in this store bought spinach and artichoke dip. It almost tastes like there’s canned artichoke juice in it. Plus, it’s nice and thick. We really loved this dip and are happily declaring it the best spinach artichoke dip for artichoke lovers. —Jordan Myrick

- Marketside Spinach Dip
-
Walmart’s Marketside Spinach & Artichoke remains in the top spot on our list of the best spinach and artichoke dips for obvious reasons (the obvious reasons are that it contains cream cheese), but Marketside Spinach Dip is a close second. It’s SO CREAMY. It’s made with sour cream, mayo, spinach, water chestnuts, and green onion. To me, this tastes EXACTLY like homemade spinach dip you’d make with a Knorr packet, but even better. You know why? It’s already made! It’s seasoned and salty and so, so creamy. Walmart does not f*ck around when it comes to a decadent dip. —Gwynedd Stuart
- La Terra Fina Spinach Artichoke & Parmesan Dip & Spread
-
The spinach flavor in this dip is so nice. It’s earthy, tart, salty, and a little bit sweet. It kind of tastes like fresh spinach, to be honest, and not the overcooked frozen stuff. “This tastes exactly like spinach dip you’d go out of your way to make,” remarked managing editor Gwynedd Stuart. That’s the highest compliment you can pay a container of spinach dip, which makes this one of the best spinach and artichoke dips you can buy. —Danny Palumbo

- Marketside Spinach & Artichoke Dip
-
Marketside Spinach Dip is made with cream cheese, so it has that uber-creamy cheese dip feel to it. You can also see whole chunks of artichokes in here, and they add an extra earthy tang that really brings the whole thing together. Cream cheese is decadent, so the flavor of the veggies is the perfect antidote to all that richness. Marketside is also made with three cheeses: mozzarella, parmesan, and asiago. All in all, this is a creamy, cheesy, well-seasoned, vegetable-packed dip. Spread it on a sandwich, put it in a bread bowl, eat spoonfuls of it straight, etc. The world is your oyster with the best spinach artichoke dip at the grocery store. —Danny Palumbo
