Spinach Dip
Spinach dip is a classic “MUST HAVE” hors d’oeuvre, appetizer, snacky food (whatever name you prefer to throw at it) for any get-together/holiday/random day that requires a good feast of snacks! I mean, HELLO…….. who doesn’t look for any way to get more sourdough bread into their lives?!?!?! That can’t just be me, right?
Buuuuuut, have you ever stopped and actually taken a look at the back of that ‘classic’ pouch usually mixed on in when making spinach dip??? Go ahead and take a peek on the ‘ol google machine or grab the pouch if you have one in your cabinet; you might be surprised to find there’s quite a lot of crap in that one little pouch!
Thanks to Trader Joe’s “21 Seasoning Salute” OR Kirkland at Costco now even has a “no salt 21 seasoning blend” there are better options for making a delicious spinach dip that you can feel good about devouring! Yes, it is a little different than the ‘traditional’ way; however, it is super tasty and just as quick to make!
