Variations I Love Trying!
- Fresh Spinach – If you can’t find frozen spinach, use a pound of baby spinach instead of the 10-ounce block. Finely chop the spinach before steaming it down.
- Artichoke Hearts – For extra flavor and crunch, dice a drained can of artichoke hearts and mix it with the chopped spinach.
- Green Onions – Finely chop 2-3 green onions, including both the green and white parts, and add them to the dip.
- Greek Yogurt – Replace the sour cream with Greek yogurt for a healthier option.
- Spice It UpРAdd chopped candied jalape̱os or red pepper flakes for some extra heat.
- Add Parmesan– Shred some Parmesan cheese and mix it in for added flavor.
Tips You Will Thank Me For!
- Use Fresh Spinach: If you opt for fresh spinach, steam it gently until just wilted, then finely chop it. This helps maintain a vibrant color and fresh taste.
- Enhance Texture: For an added crunch, toast the water chestnuts lightly in a pan before dicing and adding them to the dip.
- Flavor Boost: To elevate the flavor, mix in a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce or a dash of hot sauce.
- Herb Addition: Fresh herbs like dill or parsley can add an extra layer of flavor. Finely chop and mix them in just before serving.
- Cheese Upgrade: Stir in a handful of finely grated Parmesan or Asiago cheese for a richer taste.
- Presentation Tip: For a more attractive presentation, garnish the dip with a few extra green onion slices or a sprinkle of paprika.
- Chill Time: Allowing the dip to chill for at least 4 hours (instead of just 2) can further enhance the flavors as they meld together.
- Serving Idea: For a more rustic presentation, serve the dip in a hollowed-out round loaf of bread, but be sure to keep extra dip on hand for refills.

Make Ahead and Storage Instructions!
- This spinach dip is perfect for making ahead! It needs to chill for at least 2 hours, but you can make it a full day in advance. The flavor improves as it sits.
- Wait until you’re ready to serve the dip before transferring it to the bread bowl.
- Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. If you refrigerate the dip in a bread bowl, it will become soggy and stale after one day.
