Spinach Dip From Scratch

Tuesday, February 12, 2013
Homemade Spinach Dip recipe from scratch is a favorite at parties and the holidays. It's an easy to make cold Spinach Dip Recipe without needing dry packaged soup mix. I used Greek Yogurt for the base and just enough mayonnaise that it's not overwhelming. We love it served with crostini, sourdough bread, a variety of vegetables for dipping, and crackers. 

I love to have a few dips for parties, Thanksgiving, and Christmas when we are entertaining for variety. A few other favorite dips we like to serve along with Homemade Spinach Dip are Greek Feta Dip, Dill Smoked Salmon Dip, and Hot Crab Dip

I have a serious love of Homemade Spinach Dip. It's a must make at any kind of gathering with it's creamy texture dipped with crusty sourdough bread.

I'll be real honest with you right now my husband usually eats half the container before the company arrives and then tries to come up with some lame excuse with a couple of kisses on the cheek, and says  stuff like baby I just loved it a lot.. (I wonder where Mas our 7 year old finds his charm from.) Some how this wins me over every time, dang him one of these days I will stand strong to this manipulation! 

I've used Knorr Vegetable Soup mix in my dip for years along with sour cream and a lot of mayo. So, I set out to come up with a tasty dip minus the soup mix since it contains MSG and to reduce the calories from all the sour cream and mayo.
  
I used a little turmeric since it has a lot of wonderful healing properties but if you are looking for more of a classic white dip feel free to omit. I won't judge I promise!

Greek Yogurt, Mayonnaise, Worcestershire Sauce, Onion Flakes, Turmeric, Granulated Garlic, Celery Seed, Salt, Thyme, Oregano, and Rosemary in a stainless steel bowl.
Combine:
  • 2 1/2 cups Plain Greek Yogurt or Sour Cream
  • 3/4 cup Mayonnaise 
  • 2 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 3 tablespoons Dried Onion Flakes
  • 1/8 teaspoon Turmeric (this can be omitted if you prefer a whiter dip)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon Granulated Garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Celery Seed
  • 3/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Dried Thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon Dried Rosemary
Shredded Carrots and Water Chestnuts added to Homemade Spinach Dip base.
Stir in:
  • 3 whole Shredded Carrots
  • 8 ounces Water Chestnuts Chopped

Spinach added to Homemade Spinach Dip base in a stainless steel bowl.
Add 10 ounces frozen spinach thawed and then squeezed dry.

Stir until well combined and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld.

  5. Lol, I literally just got done eating my lunch - spinach lasagna rolls, i.e. spinach dip wrapped up in lasagna noodles topped with sauce and baked :) I love the idea of using tumeric, your dip looks divine.

  6. This is a wonderful recipe. My daughter has food sensitivities and we can no longer use the Knorr package. When I asked her what her favorite appetizer was at the holidays she said "spinach dip." I was then on the hunt for a recipe that didn't use anything from a package or a can. We had to leave out the turmeric and the pepper but I don't think we missed it. She was thrilled with the taste and will be even happier next month when the Thanksgiving appetizer table has her favorite.
