EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

A hollowed-out bread loaf makes the perfect “bowl” for your dip. Cube the bread removed from the loaf, and use for dipping.

Make this lighter dip a nice alternative to your standard holiday appetizers. Stir about 1 cup of dried cranberries into the spinach dip; it’s fun, festive and adds a touch of sweetness and color.

This spinach dip was a hit at a party I took it to. I actually put in 2 cloves of garlic and found that to be perfect. I served it with bread squares, which was the perfect combination. I would definitely make again!

Made this recipe for Christmas because my boyfriend doesn't like mayo. It called for 1 clove garlic and that was entirely too much. It was overpowering and hands down the worst spinach dip I've ever tasted.
