THE BEST SPINACH DIP RECIPE

Steps:

• Defrost your box of spinach overnight in the refrigerator or do a quick thaw using the microwave.
• Drain out as much of the water from the spinach as you can.
• In a large bowl, add your drained spinach, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup sour cream, 7 oz. container of Greek yogurt, 3/4 cup mayonnaise, chopped 4 oz. can of sliced water chestnuts, two chopped garlic cloves, 1/2 cup shredded carrot, 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives, 1 tsp. each of salt, lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce and some cracked black pepper to taste.

COLD SPINACH DIP

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.
