Dish Pirate: Hillstone’s Spinach & Artichoke Dip
Hillstone, formerly Houston’s, is a popular chain in Dallas. The menu boasts hearty comfort food with a Southwest flair. One of the best items on the menu is Hillstone’s original spinach and artichoke dip. The dip is served warm with a side of tortilla chips, salsa, and sour cream. You can easily share this with a group of friends and it’s a great contribution at get-togethers.
This is a close replication of Hillstone’s dip in a larger portion and can be made ahead of time and then warmed in the oven a few minutes before serving.
