Why You’ll Love This Dip

This spinach dip is simple, cozy, and deliciously creamy. It’s made with a blend of cream cheese, sour cream, mozzarella, and Parmesan for the ultimate cheesy bite. The spinach adds a pop of color and freshness that balances the richness.

Can I Use Fresh Spinach Instead of Frozen?

Yes! Fresh baby spinach works perfectly in this recipe. Use about 1 pound of fresh spinach in place of the frozen spinach. Rinse it well, remove any tough stems, and sauté it in a skillet over medium heat until wilted (this only takes a few minutes). Once cooked, transfer it to a fine mesh strainer or paper towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible so the dip stays creamy, not watery. After that, chop it up and mix it right in as directed.

Substitutions and Add-Ins

  • Try pepper jack cheese instead of mozzarella for a little extra kick.
  • Stir in artichoke hearts for a creamy spinach-artichoke version.
  • For a lighter option, use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.
