COLD SPINACH DIP
This is one of the first recipes I ever created, so it's only appropriate that it should be the first one I post! It's a great cold treat, and very easy to make! Most other recipes I've seen call for mayo or Miracle Whip instead of the cream cheese. I'm not a big fan of "heart-healthy" recipes, but this could easily be made with low/no-fat sour cream and cream cheese. The water chestnuts are optional, but I think it adds to the texture!

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.

COLD SPINACH DIP
I found this recipe on a box of Mrs. Grass Recipe, Soup & Dip Mix, made by Wyler's. I like to add artichokes to fit my liking. I like cold and hot spinach dip. This recipe is meant to be cold but it could probably be good served warm too, heat in the oven till bubbly.

COLD SPINACH DIP
This recipe is my take on the original Knorr Spinach Dip recipe. It can be served with vegetable sticks, crackers or my favorite... toasted Demi Asiago Cheese Bread from Panera Bread.

Steps:
- 1. Mix all ingredients and refrigerate overnight or for 4 hours.
Tips:
- Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and color than frozen spinach. If you're using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess water.
- Chop the spinach finely: This will help the spinach to blend more easily into the dip and create a smoother texture.
- Use a good quality sour cream and mayonnaise: The quality of your sour cream and mayonnaise will greatly affect the flavor of the dip. Look for brands that are made with fresh, natural ingredients.
- Season the dip to taste: The amount of salt, pepper, and garlic powder you add to the dip is a matter of personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Chill the dip before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and the dip to thicken up.
- Serve the dip with a variety of dippers: Some popular dippers for spinach dip include tortilla chips, crackers, bread, and vegetables.
