Ingredients for Spinach Dip

Spinach: Use frozen chopped spinach that has been thawed and squeezed to remove excess liquid. You can replace frozen spinach with fresh – cook 1 pound of fresh spinach, cool, chop & squeeze it to remove moisture.

Not all spinach dips are healthy, but you can improvise any dip recipe to make it more nutritious. A dip prepared with whole sour cream, cream cheese, mayonnaise or fatty oils may not be heart-healthy because of the fat content and high calorie count.

Storage: Store leftovers covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Make ahead: For the best flavors, let the dip chill at least 2 hours. Or, make it a day ahead and keep it in the refrigerator overnight. Favorite dippers: I could eat this cold spinach dip recipe with a spoon, if I'm being honest.

What is creamy spinach dip made of? To get your dip super creamy I like to add in milk, cream cheese, and mozzarella. Then the base is made of spinach, yellow onions, and garlic. And finally it's seasoned with worcestershire sauce, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.

Let's get into it. Frozen spinach is mechanically chopped, boiled or blanched, and then flash frozen. A single ten ounce package of frozen spinach usually equals one cup of greens once it's thawed and drained. To get that same cup with fresh spinach, you'd have to cook down about a full pound.

Spinach Dip Ingredients

Frozen spinach: You'll need a thawed and drained bag of frozen spinach. Water chestnuts: A can of drained and chopped water chestnuts add welcome texture. If you don't like water chestnuts, you can leave them out. Soup mix: A package of dry leek soup mix takes the flavor up a notch.

Even better, one cup of frozen spinach has more than four times the amount of nutrients, including iron, vitamin C and calcium, compared to a cup of fresh spinach.

Spinach is a non-starchy veggie, which means it does not have much effect on blood sugar levels. So, you can enjoy the green delight as much as you want. Spinach is considered a low-glycaemic index food, and foods that have low GI are said to have little or no effect on the blood sugar levels.

Spinach is high in both fiber and magnesium, both of which help the colon flush things through, and have been shown to relieve constipation.

Can you eat spinach dip left out overnight? ›

According to the USDA, food that has been left out of the fridge for more than two hours should be thrown away. That's because between 40° F and 140° F (what the USDA calls the "Danger Zone"), bacteria grows incredibly fast and can make you sick.

The date printed on the container is an “unopened” date - meaning the dip will stay fresh if unopened until that date. Once the dip container has been opened, we recommend consuming the dip within about 10-14 days for optimum flavor and freshness and follow the “refrigerate after opening” instructions on the label.

The best side dishes to serve with spinach dip are nachos, tostadas, chicken wings, crispy green beans, chicken nuggets, gluten-free bread, crab cakes, pita chips, veggie sticks, grilled shrimp, sourdough bread bowl, stuffed mushrooms, cheese and crackers, soft pretzels, and flatbread.
