FAQs
Can I replace the frozen spinach with fresh spinach?
- Yes, fresh spinach can be used. But it takes you a lot of time. We need one pound of fresh spinach to prepare the dip. Before adding it to the dip, cook it for a few minutes at a moderate burner flame or until it wilts. Then, drain thoroughly and cut it into fine pieces. After that, incorporate chopped spinach into the dip.
Does this dip recipe include a lot of sodium?
- The salt content of the vegetable soup mix is high. To reduce the amount of sodium, use a low-sodium version or make your own seasoning blends at home.
Can I skip the sour cream from this dip?
- Unsweetened Greek yogurt also works with this spinach dip providing a tangier taste and fewer calories.
