How To Make Creamy Spinach Dip Recipe
1. Begin by chopping a cup of spinach finely. No need to go extra fine here, but make sure there are no large leaves. This is the essence of our dish, so take your time and do it well.
2. Now, in a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayo, and some sour cream. Do this gently to ensure they blend well. Remember, mixing gently will keep the texture soft and creamy!
3. Add in your chopped spinach, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated Parmesan to the bowl.
4. Stir until all your ingredients are well mixed and evenly distributed in the velvety creamy base.
5. Season with salt to taste. Remember, the cheese already has some saltness, so be careful here.
