- Customize to taste – Feel free to add red pepper flakes or chopped jalapenos for a bit of heat, depending on your preferences.
- Drain thoroughly – Make sure to drain the spinach and artichokes thoroughly to avoid excess moisture in the dip. You can use paper towels or a clean hand towel to squeeze out any extra liquid.
