Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a little cream cheese to the mixture. If you want to spice things up, try incorporating some diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper. You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a healthier option. This recipe is also versatile; feel free to swap the frozen spinach for fresh, sautéed spinach for a different flavor profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this spinach dip ahead of time?
