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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach. Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and color than frozen spinach.
  • Wilt the spinach properly. Wilting the spinach removes excess moisture and helps to concentrate the flavor.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The type of cheese you use will greatly affect the flavor of the dip. Use a sharp cheddar cheese for a bold flavor, or a milder cheese like mozzarella or cream cheese for a more subtle flavor.
  • Season the dip to taste. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste until the dip is flavorful but not overpowering.
  • Serve the dip with a variety of dippers. Pita chips, crackers, and vegetables are all great options.

Conclusion:

Spinach dip is a delicious and versatile appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
