    Why it's yummy

    • Quick and easy - I like to keep things simple and this spinach dip is the fastest dip you can whip up in minutes.
    • Creamy and flavorful - this dip can be made with fewer ingredients but flavor additions like onion and garlic powder, Worcestershire just take this dip to the next level!
    • Budget-friendly - made with minimal economical ingredients that are already in your kitchen, all you need to buy is cream cheese, yogurt or sour cream and fresh spinach. You can also use bottled lemon juice instead of fresh.

    Tips

    • Spinach - fresh is always best (I used baby spinach). Frozen will not work in the cold dip as it releases too much water and flavor will be off. For best results make sure spianch is washed and dried completely, I like using a Salad Spinner for this.
    • Storing instructions - Refrigerate for up to 3 days. Freezing is not recommended for dairy-based sauces due to loss of texture and separation.
    • For healthier creamy dip use low-fat yogurt and cream cheese. However, your dip will be more ‘’thinner’’. You can fix it by adding more spinach!

    FAQ

    How do I know if spinach dip is bad?

    The best way to tell if spinach dip is gone bad is to smell it for any unusual smell and flavor. This dip should be kept refrigerated in a sealed airtight container for up to 3-4 days. Also if left outside for longer than 2 hours it should be thrown away as dairy products are not safe to consume after that unless it has been served over ice.

    Can you freeze spinach dip?

    Creamy and dairy-based dips and sauces just don’t freeze well, and this spinach dip will not taste good after thawing as it will become watery, grainy and some separation will occur.

    I hope you'll enjoy this cold spinach dip recipe and if you make it, please let me know down below in the comments or by tagging @theyummy_bowl under your picture on Instagram.

    Thank you for reading,
