This Is Too Good Not to Share — Spread the Word Now:

There’s a reason spinach dip is a party favorite. It’s creamy, savory, and easy to scoop up with crackers, toasted bread, pita chips, or fresh vegetables. Whether you’re hosting a cocktail party, holiday gathering, or simply having friends over, this classic dip is always welcome on the appetizer table.

This spinach dip is quick and easy to make, but there is one important trick that makes all the difference: get as much water out of the spinach as possible. I use frozen chopped spinach because there’s no washing or chopping required. Just let it thaw in a colander, squeeze out the excess water, and then squeeze it again between paper towels.

How to make Spinach Dip

Thaw and Drain the Spinach: Place the frozen chopped spinach in a colander and let it thaw completely. Once thawed, squeeze the spinach firmly against the sides of the colander to remove as much water as possible. Then transfer the spinach to a few layers of paper towels and squeeze again. The key to a thick, creamy spinach dip is getting as much water out of the spinach as possible. Using frozen chopped spinach also saves you the step of washing and chopping fresh spinach.

Make the Dip: Add everything to a bowl (minus the spinach) and stir well. Then add the spinach and stir until everything is thoroughly combined and creamy.

Chill and Serve: Cover and refrigerate the spinach dip until ready to serve. Give it a quick stir before transferring it to a serving bowl. Serve with crackers, toasted bread, pita chips, or fresh vegetables.
