A creamy, savory spinach dip with mayonnaise, green onions, and parsley, perfect for parties and gatherings, offering fresh herbs and a smooth texture.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Cook spinach in well salted water until tender; drain thoroughly and mash.
- Mix the mashed spinach with mayonnaise, chopped green onions, and chopped parsley.
- Let the mixture set in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
- Sprinkle with paprika before serving.
- Keep refrigerated to store.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise, or a blend of both. If you're short on time, you can use fresh spinach instead of frozen; just wilt it in a pan before mashing. Add a pinch of garlic powder or a splash of lemon juice for an extra flavor boost. This dip can also be customized with different herbs.
Serving Suggestions
Super Dip is perfect for gatherings, served alongside fresh veggies, crackers, or toasted baguette slices. It pairs beautifully with a chilled glass of white wine or as part of a larger spread with options like a French Torte or other appetizers. Consider serving it at your next party for a crowd-pleasing treat!
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The flavors will continue to develop over time. To serve leftovers, simply stir and garnish with fresh paprika if desired. Avoid reheating this dip as it is best served cold; enjoy it straight from the fridge.
