Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 cup chives, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly, then blanch it in boiling water for 30 seconds. Drain and transfer immediately to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Squeeze out any excess water once cooled and chop finely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, softened cream cheese, and mayonnaise. Whisk together until smooth and creamy.
Add the chopped fresh parsley, basil leaves, chives, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir until the herbs and seasonings are evenly distributed.
Fold in the chopped spinach, mixing well to incorporate it into the creamy herb mixture.
Heat a small pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once warm, lightly sauté the spinach dip mixture for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to enhance the flavor and meld the ingredients together.
Remove from heat and let the dip cool slightly. Transfer to a serving bowl.
Serve with your choice of dippers such as fresh vegetables, tortilla chips, or sliced bread. Enjoy your Green Goddess Spinach Dip!
