spinach dip

[skuttle]

Sorry if this has been asked before, but search isn't working right now. :rolleyes:

I'm looking for an easy spinach dip recipe. My DS is being baptized at the end of the month and we're having our family over afterwards. I LOVE spinach dip, but I've never made it (my aunts always made it for my wedding and baby shower). I am NOT a good cook, so I need something fairly easy, but still tastes great!

Thanks!!

Sorry I don't have a recipe for the dip, I usually get it from my grocery store their deli has an excellent spinach dip that I always get so you might want to check that out.

Here's the receipe I use. I make a bread bowl to put it in. It is always a big hit!



1 cup Sour Cream
1 cup mayo
1 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen chopped spinach, thawed, well drained

1 packet ranch dip

1/4 chopped water chestnuts

1/4 cup chopped red pepper

1/4 cup chopped green onions

1 clove garlic, minced




MIX all ingredients except crackers until well blended; cover.

REFRIGERATE at least 1 hour to allow flavors to blend.

I have a similar recipe that always seems to go over well...

10 oz. frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed "dry"
1 cup mayo
1 carton (16 oz.) sour cream
1 bunch green onions sliced thin or 1 med. onion, chopped
1 pkg. Knorr vegetable soup mix (dry)

Mix all the above together and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving. I have often served this in a bread bowl. If not, I get that party rye at the deli. Nabisco Wheat Thins Harvest Crisp 5-grain crackers (what a name!) are fantastic with this!!

You can also add some chopped water chestnuts for the crunch factor, if you'd like!

I have a slightly different version that is always served at every party we have. Fresh Italian bread is the key!

1 10oz box frozen spinach(thawed and well drained)
5 green onions
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
8 oz cream cheese
1 chopped tomato

Microwave all ingredients for 3 minutes. Stir. Repeat until everything is melted. Serve hot. We use Italian bread to dip but I have seen Melba toast and other crackers used!
