Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.33 cup mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 10 oz chopped frozen spinach thawed and squeezed dry
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh chives, minced
- 1 tsp dried dill weed
- 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp minced garlic
- 0.5 tsp kosher salt to taste
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 cup water chestnuts, finely chopped drained; optional for crunch
- 0.25 tsp hot sauce optional
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Squeeze the thawed spinach very dry until no liquid drips.
- Beat the softened cream cheese in a bowl until smooth and fluffy.
- Stir in sour cream and mayonnaise until the mixture is creamy.
- Mix in lemon juice, garlic, dill, parsley, chives, salt, pepper, and hot sauce.
- Fold in the spinach, Parmesan, and water chestnuts until evenly distributed.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. Chill 30 minutes if time allows, then serve.
Notes
Variation: Swap half the sour cream with plain Greek yogurt for a tangier dip, or add 1/4 cup crumbled feta for extra savoriness. Serve in a hollowed bread bowl or with crisp veggies, chips, or warm pita.
Storage: Cover and refrigerate up to 3 days. Stir before serving; refresh with a squeeze of lemon and a pinch of dill.
