This depends a lot on personal preference but you can serve your artichoke dip with gluten-free crackers, bagel chips, tortilla chips, pita chips, french bread, vegetables, etc.

Classic crackers are my go-to but feel free to get more creative. It's also great served before our instant pot broccoli cheddar soup.

What is artichoke dip made of?

Depending on the recipe artichoke dip can be made of a variety of ingredients. Some recipes call for cream cheese, fresh spinach, mozzarella cheese, and even low fat / nonfat greek yogurt. But this recipe only calls for 4 basic ingredients.

Water packed artichokes

You'll want to drain your canned artichoke hearts before adding to the instant pot. Canned artichokes are easier and work best compared to fresh artichokes.

Mayonnaise

This hot artichoke dips calls for mayonnaise which you probably already have at your house! Feel free to use light mayo or any other version of mayonnaise you prefer.

Parmesan cheese

Grated parmesan cheese is going to make this a cheesy dip. Feel free to add other types of shredded cheese as well but do note it might impact the texture and cooking time.

Green chillies

One can of chopped green chilies adds a nice little kick to this recipe. They're not too hot but pair perfectly with the instant pot artichokes.

Additional ingredients

I like this recipe as is, but there are a few additions you're welcome to make. Chopped spinach or frozen spinach is a common ingredient in spinach artichoke dip. Additionally, lemon juice goes well in artichoke dip as well.
