CREAMY CHEESY SPINACH DIP



Creamy Cheesy Spinach Dip image

This recipe doesn't contain mayo or sour cream like most, so it's very cheesy and very delicious. I'm asked for the recipe every time I make it. For those who don't want a strong cheese like Cheddar, you can replace it with anything you like or even leave it out altogether. I like adding the Cheddar because it adds color and a little more flavor.

CREAMY SPINACH DIP WITH WATER CHESTNUTS



Creamy Spinach Dip with Water Chestnuts image

Classic creamy spinach dip with a water chestnut crunch, minus the veggie soup mix. Easy, super full of flavor, and with dairy-free and vegan options.

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise (for vegan version use vegan mayo)
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt + more to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper + more to taste
1 10-ounce bag frozen spinach, thawed and liquid squeezed out*
1 4-ounce can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
1 bunch scallions (green onions, chopped [discard top 1/3 of green ends]; save a few for garnish)
1 medium loaf sourdough boule
1/2 sourdough baguette (sliced)

Steps:

  • To a medium bowl, add the sour cream, mayonnaise, onion powder, garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Mix well to combine.
  • Squeeze the liquid out of the spinach and add to the bowl along with the water chestnuts and scallions. Mix well to combine. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired.
  • To allow the flavors to develop, place dip in a lidded container and refrigerate for at least one hour, or up to 24 hours.
  • When ready to serve, prepare the sourdough bowl. Use a serrated knife to slice off the top of the sourdough round, leaving enough of the bread to make a "bowl." Use your hands to pull out the soft center of the bread, leaving the crusty outside. Arrange on a platter along with sourdough baguette slices. Scoop dip into the sourdough "bowl" and use the reserved scallions for garnish. Serve!

Tips:

  • Choose fresh ingredients: Using fresh spinach, cream cheese, sour cream, and other ingredients will result in a more flavorful and delicious dip.
  • Don't overcook the spinach: Spinach should be cooked just until wilted, otherwise it will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use a good quality cream cheese: The cream cheese is one of the main ingredients in this dip, so it's important to use a good quality brand.
  • Don't over-mix the dip: Over-mixing the dip can make it too runny, so mix it just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Chill the dip before serving: Chilling the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving allows the flavors to meld and makes it easier to scoop.
  • Serve with a variety of dippers: Serve the dip with a variety of dippers, such as crackers, chips, vegetables, or bread.

Conclusion:

Creamy spinach dip is a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
