I love spinach artichoke dip. Everyone has their own opinions on it, but if I get the opportunity to buy or make it, I will. I also happen to love anything spicy, from chips to simply putting jalapenos on meals like nachos. I discovered that Aldi combined those two things together, creating jalapeno artichoke dip, which is sold alongside their traditional spinach artichoke dip.
The Park Street Deli Jalapeno Artichoke Dip is a Regular Buy, which means you should be able to find it at Aldi all year. It costs $3.39 for 12 ounces, or about 28.2 cents an ounce.

If allergens are an issue, this dip contains eggs and milk.
There aren’t any preparation instructions, but I always find it tastes the best if it’s heated a bit. I put it in a microwave-safe bowl and heated it for 30 seconds.
I ate this dip with tortilla chips, but I’ve seen people use crackers, veggies, or pita bread.
I loved this dip more than I thought I would. It definitely has some kick, but it isn’t overpowering. My only criticism is that there are a couple really large chunks of artichoke in the dip, but other than that, the texture is fine. I only had one small bowl of the dip, but it was hard not to keep coming back for more. I could taste the classic artichoke dip, but the hints of spice made it unique.
The Verdict:
Park Street Deli Jalapeno Artichoke Dip was a success. I decided to get it on a whim, and I’m glad I did. It’s around all year, and it would work as a great appetizer for various holidays. I approve of it, and if you’re someone who eats spinach artichoke dip regularly and likes a bit of spice, you’ll likely agree with me.
