Notes
- Use 1 pound fresh spinach cooked down and drained tightly if substituting fresh for frozen spinach.
- Prepare the dip up to one day ahead; chilling enhances flavor melding.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within three days for best quality.
- Freezing is not recommended due to texture changes caused by the dairy ingredients.
