Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh spinach finely chopped
  • 8 ounces (225 g) cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup (250 g) sour cream
  • 1 cup artichoke hearts drained and chopped
  • ¼ cup water chestnuts chopped small
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  • To a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese, sour cream, chopped spinach, chopped artichokes, and diced water chestnuts.
  • Add the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
  • Use a hand mixer on low speed to mix everything until smooth and mixed well.
  • Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to blend the flavors nicely.
  • Serve this dip cold with your favorite chips, crackers, crunchy veggies, or slices of bread.

Notes

  • Chilling is Important: A little bit of time in the fridge gives your spinach dip time to get cold, and lets the salt and seasonings do their thing and infuse the cream cheese with flavor. Give it at least 30 minutes. The dip won't be as tasty if you try to serve it without chilling it first.
  • Make Ahead: You can prepare this recipe and keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Variations to Try: Mix in up to a quarter cup of grated parmesan cheese or finely shredded carrots. You can also stir in a bit of homemade ranch seasoning or chili powder for even more flavor. Start by adding just a little bit, taste, and add more until you're happy.
