Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced

  • Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon zest, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Let cool to room temperature or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
  • Remove the rosemary leaves from the stems over a cutting board. Crush with your fingers or finely chop with a knife.
  • Transfer the dip to a serving dish and smooth the top. Sprinkle with the fried rosemary and serve with pita chips, toasted bread, or crudités.
  • Enjoy!

SPINACH DIP WITH HOMEMADE PITA CHIPS



Spinach Dip With Homemade Pita Chips image

I found the dip recipe in a book I have using Name brand foods. Homemade Pita chips are so good and are much lower in fat and if you use a whole wheat pita bread, than they are also higher in whole grains as well. Also, you can either make the chips ahead of time or have them warmed just before you serve the dip as well. Sometimes having oven fresh chips are great, especially with this dip! The recipe suggests to use low fat sour cream and mayonnaise, but you can use the full fat ones if you'd prefer.

CAJUN SPINACH DIP TO DIE FOR



Cajun Spinach Dip to Die For image

When in New Orleans a few years back, I bought a copy of 'Dat Little Cajun Cookbook by Chef Remy (not the chef in Ratatouille!). There are so many similar Spinach dips out there, Chef Remy's is a little different and more "made from scratch". I made some minor adjustments which are reflected here. (If cajun seasoning is unavailable, use seasoned salt with a pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes)
