Notes
- Ranch Powder: We use our homemade ranch seasoning mix in this recipe. The amount is equivalent to using 2 store-bought ranch seasoning packets.
- Spinach: Be sure to remove as much excess water as possible from the thawed spinach. Use a kitchen towel or several layers of paper towel to squeeze out all of the moisture. You can use fresh spinach, but it will need to be cooked, cooled and drained before adding it to the dip.
- Sour Cream: Can be swapped for plain Greek yogurt.
- Mayonnaise: Any type of mayo can be used, even our homemade avocado oil mayo!
- Some optional add-ins include crispy bacon, shredded cheddar, caramelized onions, chopped artichokes or pickled jalapeños.
- Store leftover spinach dip in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator. Do not freeze.
