I could eat this stuff by the truckload… I love it!!
I make it all the time because it’s super simple and always a HUGE hit!! I got this recipe from my sister, who got it from her friend, who got it from her aunt’s second cousin’s coworker. I guess what I’m saying is… I don’t know the origin but I got it from my sister.. and then I lightened it up a bit!
Spinach dip is often served in a “bread bowl” which is all fine and dandy.. but I like to put it in it’s own bowl. This way I can just put a little out at a time because mayo sitting around in the sun for hours just doesn’t sit well with me (ok, it doesn’t usually last that long). When the first little bowl is empty, I just replace it! Or I serve it in a bread bowl.. :)

I thought the recipe originated on the back of the Knorr vegetable soup mix (dry packet). I usually cut up my thawed & strained spinach with kitchen shears ( just makes it less stringy).
Can you use fat free mayonnaise?
It would definitely work however, I just don’t like the taste of fat free mayonnaise so I use light. :)
What kind of greek yogurt do you use
I usually use Fat Free greek yogurt but any brand of plain greek yogurt would work.
Better yet, use Fresh Baby Soinach chopped up. I never use the frozen now after tasting the difference.
That sounds fantastic! I am going to try that next time! Thanks Lori!
