Can I use frozen spinach?

Absolutely, Frozen spinach works great—just thaw it completely and squeeze out every last drop of water (I wrap it in a clean towel and twist). Fresh spinach needs chopping, but frozen saves time. Either way, dry greens mean creamier dip.

Can I make spinach artichoke dip ahead?

You bet, Mix everything (except baking) up to 24 hours ahead—just cover and fridge it. When ready, bake 5-10 minutes longer since it's cold. The flavors actually improve overnight. Bonus tip: Sprinkle extra cheese on top right before baking for a fresh-from-the-oven look.

Help! My dip turned out watery—how do I fix it?

First, don't panic. Next time, really wring out those veggies. For now, stir in 2-3 tbsp breadcrumbs or extra Parmesan to soak up moisture. Or pop it back in the oven uncovered—the heat will evaporate some liquid. Still too loose? Call it "spinach artichoke soup" and serve with spoons (I've done it).

Can I make this dairy-free?

You can try. Swap cream cheese for dairy-free versions (the almond milk ones melt best), use vegan mayo, and sub nutritional yeast for Parmesan. The texture changes slightly, but it'll still be tasty. Just avoid watery vegan cheeses—they can separate when baked.
