    Mix until combined and give it a taste to see if it needs salt.  If it does, add in some salt and taste it again. Keep in mind, the amount of salt will vary depending on the bouillon that you used. That’s why it’s important to taste it first, then add salt if needed.

    ☑️ Storage Instructions

    Store your dip in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Give it a good stir before serving. I do not recommend freezing it because the creamy texture may change when thawed.

    🍴 What to Serve with Cold Spinach Dip

    • You can serve this dip with your favorite crackers. I make my Everything Crackers to serve with it and they are easy and DELISH. You can also serve it with low-carb chips or crisp raw veggies. It's great with these Cheese Crisps also.
    • Chicken breasts topping: Top grilled, fried or baked chicken breasts with the dip while still hot. The cool dip will slowly melt over the chicken, creating a very tasty topping.
    • Zucchini boats: Scoop out zucchini halves, stuff them with the dip, and bake until the zucchini is soft and the filling is warm and bubbly.
    • Portobello mushroom caps: Fill large portobello mushroom caps with the dip, sprinkle with a bit of shredded cheese, and bake until melty.
    • Cauliflower steaks: Top Roasted Cauliflower Steaks with the spinach dip for a creamy, keto-friendly side.
    • Keto flatbread: Spread the dip over a low-carb flatbread or Keto pizza crust, top with mozzarella, and bake until bubbly.
    • Keto-friendly meatballs: Make your favorite Keto Meatballs recipe but stuff each one with a spoonful of dip, and bake until cooked through.

    💡 Tips for Making Spinach Dip

    • Drain the spinach well: Use paper towels to squeeze out every bit of water. It's the key to making your dip thick and creamy.
    • Chill for the best flavor: An hour in the fridge lets the flavors blend beautifully.
    • Adjust salt carefully: Taste before adding salt since bouillon can already be salty.
    • Mix well: Stir thoroughly to avoid any clumps of bouillon or spinach.
    • Use full-fat ingredients: This makes a big difference in richness and texture.

    🔄 Substitutions and Additions

    • Add cheese: Stir in ½ cup of grated Parmesan or shredded mozzarella for a cheesy twist.
    • Artichokes: For a classic spinach-artichoke dip, mix in ½ cup of chopped artichokes.
    • Spice it up: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce.
    • Garlic: Mix in a teaspoon of garlic powder or some Roasted Garlic for an extra kick.
    • Warm it up: For a warm dip, replace the Greek yogurt with the same amount of cream cheese. Then, bake the dip at 350°F for 15-20 minutes for a hot and bubbly version.
    • Top it off: Sprinkle some sautéed onions on top for a little texture and extra flavor.

    Is Spinach Dip Keto?

    Yes, this Spinach Dip is keto-friendly! It’s made with low-carb ingredients like spinach, mayonnaise, sour cream, and Greek yogurt. Just be mindful of what you serve it with. Stick to foods like cucumber slices, bell pepper scoops, or low-carb crackers to keep it Keto-friendly.

    Can I Use Fresh Spinach Instead of Frozen?

    Yes! Sauté fresh spinach until wilted, drain thoroughly, and use in place of frozen.

    Why is My Dip Watery?

    Make sure to squeeze the frozen and thawed spinach completely dry or don’t skip draining after sautéing fresh spinach.

    Can I Make this Dip Ahead of Time?

    Yes, it’s perfect for making ahead. Just keep it chilled until ready to serve.
