Herbed Spinach Dip Recipes

Steps:

• Place the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, scallions, parsley, dill, salt, and pepper in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and blend. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 12-inch ovenproof skillet with cooking spray.
• In large bowl, mix Dip ingredients until blended. Set aside.
• Separate dough into 8 biscuits. Separate each biscuit into 2 rounds. Place 1 cube of cheese on center of each biscuit round. Fold edges up and over cheese, pinch firmly to seal; roll into a ball. Place around edge of skillet with pinched end facing down.
• In small bowl, mix melted butter and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning. Brush biscuits with butter mixture. Spoon dip mixture in center of skillet, spreading it to edge of biscuits.
• Bake 25 minutes. Remove from oven; sprinkle 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese over biscuits. Bake 3 to 5 minutes longer or until biscuits are golden brown and dip is heated through. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, dry leek soup mix, water chestnuts and chopped spinach. Chill in the refrigerator 6 hours, or overnight.
• Remove top and interior of sourdough bread. Fill with mayonnaise mixture. Tear removed bread chunks into pieces for dipping.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring until it's softened and fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Add spinach to pot one handful at a time, letting each handful completely wilt before adding the next. Add crushed red pepper, if using, and season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until most of the liquid from the spinach has evaporated (no need to drain), about 3 minutes. Add artichokes and season with salt and pepper. Cook for a few minutes, just to take the raw edge off the artichokes.
• Reduce heat to low and add cream cheese and mozzarella. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, stir until all the cheese has melted, about 3 minutes. Stir in sour cream and pecorino, and season with more salt and pepper. You can certainly eat this dip straight from the pot (or transferred to a serving bowl), but running it under the broiler for a crispy top is also an excellent option. To do so, transfer dip to a small ovenproof skillet (6 to 8 inches). Place in oven and broil until the top is golden and the dip is bubbling, 5 to 8 minutes. Let sit a minute or two before serving.

Steps:

• Thaw spinach in microwave for 3 minutes at 40% power.
• Squeeze partially thawed spinach to remove water and break into chunks.
• Put all ingredients in Food processor, and process until smooth.
• Transfer to medium bowl, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• May be covered with plastic wrap and stored up to 2 days.

Steps:

• Mince garlic clove in food processor.
• Add remaining ingredients and process until well combined, about 1 minute.
• Transfer to serving bowl and chill for at least 1 hour.

Steps:

• In a large pan insert steamer and pour in 1" water; bring to boiling.
• Combine spinach and herbs in the steamer basket. Cover, turn down the heat to medium low, and steam for 2 to 3 minutes or until wilted, stirring once. Remove basket carefully; drain. Move spinach to a serving bowl. Drizzle with some of the vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Pass the remaining vinegar. Garnish with lemon slices, if desired.
• Makes 4 servings.
