Substitutions

Recipe Tips

  • You can sauté the spinach in a pan ahead of time to more easily stir it into the dip and to ensure it’s softened within the dip.
  • There are so many things you can serve this with – it doesn’t have to be with tortilla chips! This would also go well with celery or carrot sticks, or even with gluten free pita bread.
