Make Spinach-Artichoke Dip from Disney’s Hollywood Studios

It’s our Saturday Cooking Session, during which we whip up some of our favorite treats from the Disney Parks and enjoy them at home. This week, we were taking a look through some of the Plant-Based options at the Walt Disney World Resort restaurants, and we thought it would be a good time to bring one of these plant-based recipes home to try with the family. Who knows, it might even make it onto the menu for your holiday gatherings ahead. Today, we’ve got the recipe for Disney’s Spinach & Artichoke Dip from the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Let’s get cooking so we can get to the eating!
