\"\"<\/a>My Aunt Susan made this dip a few Christmases ago when we were visiting my mom’s side of the family in Richvale, California. \u00a0It was so delicious that I just had to get the recipe. \u00a0When she wrote it down for me I was surprised at how short the ingredient list was and how easy it was to put together. \u00a0Those are the best recipes. \u00a0Simple, easy, quick and delicious.<\/p>\n

This dip can be made with or without the spinach. \u00a0Susan originally made this without the spinach, but I like it with. \u00a0It makes me feel like I’m being good to have the spinach in this dip. \u00a0If you use light mayo (or a mixture of plain yogurt and mayo), and low-fat mozzarella this isn’t the worst dip on the planet. \u00a0Using the spinach just adds to the flavor and adds some extra goodness.<\/p>\n

If you decide to use spinach, you can use fresh or frozen. \u00a0I like to use fresh, but sometimes it’s not the quickest thing to do. \u00a0If you’re using frozen, thaw it completely then squeeze out as much of the moisture as possible. \u00a0To use fresh, just saute in a pan with a little olive oil and minced garlic.<\/p>\n

You can serve it with almost anything; crackers, baguette, veggies, sourdough pieces, etc. \u00a0Just use what you like. \u00a0I like to use toasted bread for a nice contrasting crunch. \u00a0Enjoy!<\/p>\n
