Ingredients
Instructions
In a medium bowl mix room temperature cream cheese and yogurt until just combined.

Enjoy right away or for better taste allow to sit in the fridge for 10-15 minutes for flavors to blend.
Serve with gluten free crackers, bread, chips, vegetable straws.
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
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.
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.
