CREAMY CHEESY SPINACH DIP



Creamy Cheesy Spinach Dip image

This recipe doesn't contain mayo or sour cream like most, so it's very cheesy and very delicious. I'm asked for the recipe every time I make it. For those who don't want a strong cheese like Cheddar, you can replace it with anything you like or even leave it out altogether. I like adding the Cheddar because it adds color and a little more flavor.

  • Mix powdered soup mix with sour cream and mayonnaise and refrigerate until soup mix softens (this can be done overnight if you like).

CREAMY SPINACH DIP WITH WATER CHESTNUTS



Creamy Spinach Dip with Water Chestnuts image

Classic creamy spinach dip with a water chestnut crunch, minus the veggie soup mix. Easy, super full of flavor, and with dairy-free and vegan options.

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise (for vegan version use vegan mayo)
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt + more to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper + more to taste
1 10-ounce bag frozen spinach, thawed and liquid squeezed out*
1 4-ounce can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
1 bunch scallions (green onions, chopped [discard top 1/3 of green ends]; save a few for garnish)
1 medium loaf sourdough boule
1/2 sourdough baguette (sliced)

Steps:

  • To a medium bowl, add the sour cream, mayonnaise, onion powder, garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Mix well to combine.
  • Squeeze the liquid out of the spinach and add to the bowl along with the water chestnuts and scallions. Mix well to combine. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired.
  • To allow the flavors to develop, place dip in a lidded container and refrigerate for at least one hour, or up to 24 hours.
  • When ready to serve, prepare the sourdough bowl. Use a serrated knife to slice off the top of the sourdough round, leaving enough of the bread to make a "bowl." Use your hands to pull out the soft center of the bread, leaving the crusty outside. Arrange on a platter along with sourdough baguette slices. Scoop dip into the sourdough "bowl" and use the reserved scallions for garnish. Serve!

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and texture than frozen spinach. If you're using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess water before using.
  • Don't overcook the spinach: Overcooked spinach will become limp and lose its flavor. Cook the spinach just until it is wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Use a good quality cream cheese: The cream cheese is the base of the dip, so it's important to use a good quality brand. Look for a cream cheese that is smooth and spreadable.
  • Add your favorite seasonings: You can add your favorite seasonings to the dip to taste. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Chill the dip before serving: Chilling the dip before serving will help it to thicken and set. This will make it easier to scoop and serve.

Conclusion:

Creamy spinach dip is a delicious and versatile appetizer that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's perfect for parties, potlucks, and game days. With its creamy texture, vibrant flavor, and cheesy goodness, creamy spinach dip is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy appetizer, give this creamy spinach dip a try. You won't be disappointed!
