We enjoyed this dip! I reserved some of the dip and used it to top cooked chicken breasts, put on some extra cheese and grilled them for a few minutes. Had to use just cheddar cheese because I could not get Monteray Jack. Thank you!

Thankyou! Thankyou! I don't like too much mayo, either. This was perfect. I used low fat cream cheese, used 1/2 the amount of cream cheese and sour cream, and substituted 1/2 the cheddar and jack with a veggie cheddar jack cheese blend. I realize mine was a bit thicker because of this but hey, more stayed on my crackers!!

Talk about fast and easy. This tastes WAY better than the effort :-)

I made this for a ladies group and they went wild! The flavor was excellent and the texture was just right. I used cheesecloth to squeeze the water out of the spinach so it was really dry. I put half in the freezer and used it the other day and it tasted just as fresh as the day I made it. Great recipe!
