Oh man, do I have an easy and delicious dip for you to try! I made this dip on Thursday after realizing I had a bunch of kale I needed to use up and weeks of thinking about slow cooker dips. Originally I had planned on just a traditional spinach and artichoke dip, but decided the kale would make a great and nutritious addition. I personally loved it with the kale but for those of you who don’t love kale, just double the spinach and you will be on your way to a yummy, warm dip. This dip works perfectly as intended but also makes a delicious pasta sauce and a yummy smear on sandwiches and wraps. One note about this recipe, I do recommend using good quality parmesan cheese for the recipe since a lot of the cheesy flavor comes from the Parmesan. You’ll be able to taste the difference.
