GREEN GODDESS SPINACH DIP
Are you all as devastated as ME about the death of *Gourmet* magazine? I could weep. Luckily, I have a near-complete collection of issues going back to 'way before I was born, so I can live on those the rest of my life! This recipe (of course I've fiddled a little with it) was on the last page of the last issue, and even my husband, not usually a big fan of creamy dips, keeps getting it out of the fridge and eating it cold with pita crisps. Best served warm, though...

Tips:
- Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and color than frozen spinach. If using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw and squeeze out excess water before using.
- Don't overcook the spinach: Overcooked spinach will become mushy and lose its flavor. Cook the spinach just until it is wilted, about 2 minutes.
- Use a variety of herbs: The combination of herbs in this dip is what gives it its unique flavor. Be sure to use fresh herbs if possible. If using dried herbs, use about 1/3 of the amount called for in the recipe.
- Add some spice: If you like a little spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the dip. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice for a bit of tang.
- Serve with a variety of dippers: This dip is great with a variety of dippers, such as chips, vegetables, and crackers. You can also use it as a spread on sandwiches or wraps.
Conclusion:
