COLD SPINACH DIP
This is one of the first recipes I ever created, so it's only appropriate that it should be the first one I post! It's a great cold treat, and very easy to make! Most other recipes I've seen call for mayo or Miracle Whip instead of the cream cheese. I'm not a big fan of "heart-healthy" recipes, but this could easily be made with low/no-fat sour cream and cream cheese. The water chestnuts are optional, but I think it adds to the texture!

Steps:
- If using onions, I lightly saute them in a little butter or olive oil to soften.
- Mix soup/dip mix into softened cream cheese and then add sour cream. (Make sure the cream cheese is very soft, otherwise you will have lumps.).
- Add onion, water chestnuts and spinach and mix together thoroughly.
- Refrigerate at least 4 hours. (If you can make this a day or so in advance, the flavors will have time to set well!).
- Prep time includes refrigeration and servings are a guess!
- I serve it with my favorite crackers (Triscuits) or toasted bread slices.

COLD SPINACH DIP
I found this recipe on a box of Mrs. Grass Recipe, Soup & Dip Mix, made by Wyler's. I like to add artichokes to fit my liking. I like cold and hot spinach dip. This recipe is meant to be cold but it could probably be good served warm too, heat in the oven till bubbly.

Steps:
- 1. Mix all ingredients and refrigerate overnight or for 4 hours.
Tips:
- Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and is more nutritious than frozen spinach. If you're using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw it and squeeze out any excess water before using.
- Don't overcook the spinach: Overcooked spinach will become limp and lose its flavor. Cook it just until it is wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
- Use a variety of cheeses: Using a combination of cheeses, such as cream cheese, sour cream, and Parmesan cheese, will give the dip a more complex flavor.
- Add some spices: A few spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika, can help to enhance the flavor of the dip.
- Chill the dip before serving: Chilling the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving will help to firm it up and make it easier to scoop.
- Serve with a variety of dippers: Serve the dip with a variety of dippers, such as crackers, chips, bread, or vegetables.
Conclusion:
Cold spinach dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion.
