SPINACH DIP

This recipe came from our cookbook at the beauty shop where I work. We had many pot lucks, and every one wanted this and that recipe, so we all gave recipes and had our own book printed and sold them in the salon.

Categories     Potluck

Time 10m

Yield 3-4 Cups, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (10 ounce) package frozen spinach, thawed and drained
1 cup sour cream
1 cup mayonnaise (not Miracle Whip)
1 (1 ounce) package Knorr vegetable soup mix (or onion soup mix)
1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and chopped (optional)
1/2 chopped onion

Steps:

  • Thaw and drain the spinach.
  • Squeeze the spinach with paper towels to remove excess water.
  • Mix all ingredients together in a bowl.
  • Let set in the fridge for a couple hours before serving.
  • I like to serve it inside a hollowed out round loaf of bread.
  • Scoop out the loaf and place dip inside.
  • I use what I scoop out for making croutons.
  • Serve with fresh vegetables.

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach. Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and color than frozen spinach. If you're using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw it and squeeze out all the excess water before using.
  • Don't overcook the spinach. Overcooked spinach will be mushy and lose its flavor. Cook it just until it's wilted, about 2 minutes.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. A combination of cheeses will give your dip a more complex flavor. Try using a combination of cream cheese, sour cream, and Parmesan cheese.
  • Add some spice. A little bit of spice can help to balance out the richness of the dip. Try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
  • Serve with your favorite dippers. Spinach dip is great with a variety of dippers, such as crackers, chips, vegetables, and bread.

Conclusion:

Spinach dip is a delicious and versatile appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect spinach dip that will be a hit at your next party or gathering.
