June 30th, 2008 - Yogurt Spinach Dip
Based on Yogurt Spinach Dip at AllRecipes.
I have a lot of spinach–my own plus the CSA. Luckily we’re getting the CSA because I don’t have much. But still, too much of that plus other greens to keep up with even when eating 5+ salads a week. It doesn’t help that Maggie won’t eat salad this month. Looked up dip recipes online, knowing there are some great ones with artichokes. But I’d have to buy artichokes, so I looked for and found one that was just spinach. I adapted it a bit, mainly because I forgot I was cutting it in half and used the full amount of spinach. Came out just fine regardless.
Yogurt Spinach Dip
* 1 cup chopped fresh spinach
* 1/2 cup plain yogurt
* 1/2 cup mayonnaise
* 1/2-3/4 teaspoons seasoning salt (1 tsp was too salty)
* 1/8 teaspoon dried parsley (or more fresh)
* 1/8 teaspoon dried basil (or more fresh)
* 1/8 teaspoon dried oregano (or more fresh)
* fresh garlic (I used one garlic scape)
Lovely chip dip as well as salad dressing. I should make it without the spinach as a dressing. Unfortunately, Maggie who loves dips must have been put off by the spinach as she wouldn’t touch it except if prodded. She preferred to eat her chips plain.
