Ingredients
  

  • 2 Tbs / 30 ml (1 fl oz) olive oil
  • ¼ cup (40 g / 1.41 oz) frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 2 Tbs / 3 g (0.11 oz) dried parsley
  • 1 Tbs / 1.5 g (0.05 oz) dried dill
  • 1 tsp (3 g / 0.11 oz) onion powder
  • ½ tsp (3 g / 0.11 oz) salt
  • ¼ tsp (1 g / 0.04 oz) black pepper
  • 1 cup (220 g / 7.8 oz) full-fat mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup (60 g / 2.12 oz) full-fat sour cream
  • Pro-Tips for the Best Spinach Dip
  • For the best flavor, let the dip chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors of the dried herbs and spices to meld together.
  • The secret to a thick, non-watery dip is to squeeze every last drop of moisture from the thawed spinach. Use a cheesecloth or a sturdy paper towel for best results.
  • For a fresh kick, substitute the dried herbs with fresh, finely chopped parsley and dill. You'll need to use about three times the amount (e.g., 3 Tbs fresh dill instead of 1 Tbs dried).

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. Ensure your thawed spinach is very dry by squeezing out all excess water with your hands or a clean kitchen towel. This is the key to a thick, creamy dip.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the dried parsley, dried dill, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, olive oil, and the dried spinach to the bowl with the spices.
  5. Stir everything together until it is thoroughly combined and creamy.
  6. Serve immediately or chill for later.
