What Comes With the Santa Fe Spinach Dip?
The Santa Fe Spinach Dip is a house-made spinach dip built on a creamy three-cheese blend, served warm and topped with sour cream. It arrives with the two things a good dip needs: a pile of house-fried tortilla chips for scooping and a side of house-made salsa to spoon over the top or mix in as you go.

Santa Fe Spinach Dip Nutrition and Calories
The Santa Fe Spinach Dip is listed at 1,230 calories for the full appetizer order as served — the dip, sour cream topping, tortilla chips, and salsa together. That is a starter built for several people to share, not a single serving, so the per-person number drops quickly when the table splits it.

What to Pair With the Santa Fe Spinach Dip
Cheddar’s Trio Sampler is the natural upgrade when the table wants the dip plus more. The dip is one of the five appetizers you can choose for the sampler’s pick-three plate, so one order can cover dip fans and tender fans at the same time.
Honey Butter Croissants and a second starter round out a sharing spread. Add a basket of Cheddar’s warm croissants or a hand-battered starter like the Homemade Onion Rings next to the dip, and the table has something creamy, something crispy, and something sweet-buttery to pass around before the entrées land.
Grilled mains and fresh salads balance the richness afterwards. Following a creamy, cheesy starter with a grilled chicken dish, a steak, or a salad like the Grilled Chicken Pecan Salad keeps the meal from feeling heavy, and it is an easy way to build a full dinner around the dip.
Is the Santa Fe Spinach Dip Good for Sharing?
Yes — sharing is exactly what it is built for. It sits in the Shareable Appetizers section of the menu, and one order puts a warm dip, chips, and salsa in the middle of the table where everyone can reach them, which makes it a natural first order for families and groups.
It also works just as well at home. Ordered To Go, it turns into an easy starter for a family dinner or a game-night snack, and because the chips and salsa come with it, there is nothing extra you need to buy to serve it.
Nutrition and Allergen Considerations
At 1,230 calories for the whole order, the dip is a rich starter, so it makes sense to treat it as a shared item and factor it into the rest of your meal if you are tracking calories. For food allergies, check the ingredients and preparation information before ordering. Cheddar’s warns that its kitchens use shared cooking and preparation areas, so cross-contact can occur, and items cooked in the fryer carry a special risk. It cannot guarantee that any menu item is completely free of allergens.
