Steps:
- Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic; sauté 10 seconds. Add spinach; sauté until wilted and tender, about 2 minutes. Cool.
- Puree spinach and green onions in processor. Transfer to medium bowl. Mix in sour cream and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and chill.
- Preheat broiler. Slice each pita bread horizontally in half, forming 2 circles. Cut each circle into 4 triangles. Place triangles in single layer on baking sheet. Lightly brush pita triangles with 2 tablespoons oil. Sprinkle with pepper. Broil until golden, watching closely to avoid burning and moving triangles on baking sheet to brown evenly, about 2 minutes. Cool. (Dip and pita triangles can be made 1 day ahead. Keep dip chilled. Store pita in airtight container.)
- Serve dip with pita triangles and assorted raw vegetables.
Tips:
- Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a much better flavor and texture than frozen spinach.
- Wilt the spinach properly: Wilting the spinach removes excess moisture and helps to concentrate the flavor.
- Use a good quality cream cheese: The cream cheese is the base of the dip, so it's important to use a good quality one.
- Don't overmix the dip: Overmixing the dip can make it grainy.
- Chill the dip before serving: Chilling the dip allows the flavors to meld together and also makes it easier to scoop.
- Serve the dip with a variety of dippers: Pita chips, crackers, and vegetables are all great options for dipping.
- Make the dip ahead of time: The dip can be made up to 3 days ahead of time. Just store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve.
