Ingredients
For the Spinach Dip:
- 1 package (10 oz) frozen spinach, thawed and drained
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
For Serving:
- 1 bag of tortilla chips or pita chips (or any chips of your choice)
Instructions
-
Prepare the spinach: Thaw the frozen spinach according to the package directions. Once thawed, drain any excess moisture and squeeze out the remaining water using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Chop the spinach finely.
-
Make the dip: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, cream cheese, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, and lemon juice. Stir until smooth and well-combined.
-
Add spinach: Fold in the chopped spinach and mix until evenly distributed throughout the dip. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you want extra flavor, feel free to add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes for some heat.
-
Chill the dip: Cover the dip and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. You can also let it chill for a few hours for an even better flavor.
-
Serve: When ready to serve, transfer the dip to a serving bowl and place it alongside your favorite chips. Tortilla chips or pita chips work great, but you can use any chip you prefer. Enjoy!
Notes
- Healthy Version: For a lighter version, substitute the sour cream and mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or low-fat sour cream.
- Add-ins: You can mix in extras like chopped artichokes or grated cheese for a richer dip.
- Vegetarian: This dip is naturally vegetarian, but be sure to serve it with vegetarian chips or vegetables if needed.
