Spinach Dip

Today I had the great opportunity to attend my younger brother's baby blessing (christening). Of course this was an opportunity to have food afterwards so why wouldn't I go. While thinking about what to make for probably what was going to be a pretty big gathering it occurred to me that I never made a spinach dip before. Weird that I was craving one all of a sudden. So I decided to make a Spinach Dip. I knew I had to make quite a bit, at least enough for 20 people. Of course you can adjust accordingly depending of size of party or if you want left overs. I decided to go ahead a use organic frozen spinach because it came in a bigger bag for me to use. Use light ingredients for less fat of course. In my opinion though using "light or fat free" ingredients usually means more crap that's put into the products to make it less fat...I decided to use whole but of course that's up to you. So this is what I came up with ..

Ingredients:

1 kilo (2lbs) of chopped spinach, thawed and excess liquid squeezed out

1 cup mayo (light or not)
1 cup sour cream (light or not)
1/3 cup spring onions finely chopped
1/2 cup of shredded Parmesan Reggiano
3 garlic cloves crushed (optional)
pepper
salt to taste

Directions:


Spinach thawed, rinsed and drained of excess liquid. You then want to dice your spring onions (salad onions). Mix all ingredients together. Put in the fridge for about 30mins or serve immediately.

Now what I made served literally about 10-12 people. Probably depending how much everyone takes. I say to be safe 8-10 easily.

I like this recipe because you cannot taste so much of the spinach like you can in some other recipes. It has a great sweet creamy flavor to it that I know you will enjoy.  Enjoy :)
