Cold Spinach Dip (No Mayo)
Report
Cold Spinach Dip (No Mayo) uses sour cream instead of - you guessed it - mayo! to create one cool and creamy dip.

Ingredients
- 1 8 ounce package cream cheese
- 1 10 ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 shallot, finely minced (I used a Microplane)
- 4 ounces water chestnuts, finely chopped (½ an 8-ounce can)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt (plus more, to taste)
- 2-3 dashes cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions
- Remove cream cheese from the fridge and let come to room temperature.
- Strain the thawed spinach thoroughly! I let it thaw in a fine-mesh sieve, then use paper towels to squeeze all of the liquid out of it. You want to remove as much water as you possibly can or you’ll wind up with watery dip. A watery dip is a sad dip.
- Add cream cheese, strained spinach, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, minced shallot, chopped water chestnuts, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne pepper (optional) to a large bowl and stir until well combined.
- Taste and adjust seasonings. You may want to add a little more salt or garlic powder to suit your tastes.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve. I recommend preparing at least 4 hours in advance so the flavors have time to meld.
Notes
- Remove as much excess water from the spinach as you can. I let my frozen spinach thaw in a sieve, then use paper towels to really dry out the spinach. If you don't remove enough water from the spinach it will eventually water down the dip.
- Adjust seasonings to suit your tastes. Taste and adjust after sitting for 2 hours after the flavors have had time to mingle.
- Serve it with all manner of carbs and veggies. Cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, tortilla chips, sourdough bread, Chicken in a Biscuit crackers...
