I love spinach artichoke dip at restaurants, but not being a fan of GMO-pesticide-filled-and-vegetable-oil-cooked-corn-chips makes dip not so fun! I love the flavors of this dip and wanted to figure out a way to incorporate them in a healthy salad that also included protein. Thus, my Spinach Artichoke Chicken Salad was born.
Spinach Artichoke Salad?
This recipe is a cooler variation of my slow cooker spinach artichoke chicken recipe, that is more refreshing in warmer months. The flavors of spinach and artichoke are classic, but in this salad version I use fresh spinach as a delicious variation with a little crunch.
This recipe is very easy to make and is a delicious and fresh salad. It has the same taste as spinach artichoke dip, but the dairy is optional. The flavors are much more fresh and it is a great meal on the go.

My husband really enjoyed this… We had it over quinoa noodles and it was a hit. Also very easy in the oven. 🙂
Do you let the spinach thaw out first or do you put it in still frozen?
I guess this couldn’t really be dairy-free, could it… 🙁
what temp if i’m using oven instead of crock pot?
Low
Sorry…. 325 🙂
haha… thanks :}
I made this last night, and everyone loved it! Thanks!
Can you specify the size of package of spinach? Also you can get artichoke hearts in the freezer section at the grocery store!
I have everything I need for this recipe. Hello, lunch!
Can you substitute something else for cream cheese? ie. cottage cheese?
You probably could without a problem or even just leave it out.
This sounds delicious…and I always love a new crock pot recipe!
You had me at the title. Crock pot just put this over the top! can’t wait to try.
I couldn’t decide what to make for dinner tonight, until now! Thanks for the recipe!
