Cold Spinach Dip

"This is one of the first recipes I ever created, so it's only appropriate that it should be the first one I post! It's a great cold treat, and very easy to make! Most other recipes I've seen call for mayo or Miracle Whip instead of the cream cheese. I'm not a big fan of "heart-healthy" recipes, but this could easily be made with low/no-fat sour cream and cream cheese. The water chestnuts are optional, but I think it adds to the texture!"

directions

  • If using onions, I lightly saute them in a little butter or olive oil to soften.
  • Mix soup/dip mix into softened cream cheese and then add sour cream. (Make sure the cream cheese is very soft, otherwise you will have lumps.).
  • Add onion, water chestnuts and spinach and mix together thoroughly.
  • Refrigerate at least 4 hours. (If you can make this a day or so in advance, the flavors will have time to set well!).
  • Prep time includes refrigeration and servings are a guess!
  • I serve it with my favorite crackers (Triscuits) or toasted bread slices.

I LOVE to cook. The main problem with that is that I live alone and don't know how to cook for less than 6 people. :o)
