Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh spinach, washed and finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (preferably oil-packed)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Spinach and Tomatoes: Wash fresh spinach thoroughly and chop finely. If using frozen spinach, thaw completely and squeeze out all excess water. Chop sun-dried tomatoes into small pieces to evenly distribute in the dip.
  2. Mix the Base Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt or sour cream. Stir until smooth and creamy to create the dip’s base.
  3. Add Cheeses and Flavorings: Fold in shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheeses. Stir in minced garlic, olive oil, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes to add layers of flavor.
  4. Combine Spinach and Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Gently mix chopped spinach and sun-dried tomatoes into the creamy cheese blend, ensuring even incorporation.
  5. Chill and Serve: Cover the dip and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to meld flavors. Serve chilled or at room temperature with your favorite dippers such as chips, bread, or vegetables.

Notes

  • Use fresh spinach whenever possible for brighter flavor and better texture.
  • Drain spinach well to avoid excess moisture that can water down the dip.
  • Choose oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes for softer, more flavorful pieces.
  • Adjust salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste before serving.
  • Allow the dip to chill to improve flavor meld and thicken texture.
