Quick & Easy Spinach Dip

With the holidays around the corner, it's always nice to have some quick, delicious recipes that you can have ready for your guests.  Whether they are dropping by on short notice or are expected, this dip is a favorite for any occasion.  I recently took this dip with some pita chips to a pumpkin carving and it was a big hit.  I serve this dip with pita chips, but you can put it in a bread bowl, with carrots or other veggies.  You can even use tortilla chips.

Ingredients;
16 oz of sour cream (you can use light)
1 c of mayonnaise
1 large package of fresh spinach (16oz) or you can use 1 package frozen spinach, 14oz
I pkg of Knorr Vegetable mix

Add the mayonnaise and the sour cream into a medium size bowl.

Mix until incorporated.  Add the vegetable mix into the bowl.

Set the bowl aside.  Add 2 inches of water in the bottom of a pot.  Once it has started boiling, add spinach on top and stir.  Let cook for 1-2 minutes. If you are using the frozen spinach, follow the directions on the package.

Strain the spinach.

Once the spinach has cooled, mince the spinach.  Before adding the spinach to the bowl, be sure that all the water has been strained.  You can pat the spinach with paper towels.

 Stir in spinach.  Place the dip in the fridge and be sure ti is cold before serving.  You can store the dip in the fridge about 4 days.

TIP:  I always like to make the dip the night before, I feel like it is more flavorful the next day.
