Minty Spinach Dip |
Happy Friday! Remember how I told you that Happy Hour (at home) is our new social
gathering of choice these days? This dip appeared at one such gathering. A few
Fridays ago our friends Paige and Zach were in town and rather than hit up a
restaurant, my sister Julia, her husband Nate, and baby Carsten joined us for some snacks and
rosé
on our patio.
I was drawn to this recipe because of how easy it was. Most
of the time I try to make whatever I can ahead of time, but in this case I ran
out of time and instead whipped it up in less than ten minutes. After steaming
and chopping the spinach, it’s simply a matter of stirring the ingredients
together. The base of the dip is sour cream (I used light), but you could
probably also try a mix of sour cream and Greek yogurt.
Spinach dip is pretty typical, but the inclusion of mint
here makes things a little more exciting. We used pita chips, crackers, and raw
vegetables for dipping…you can’t go wrong with any of them!
