Notes

Fresh Spinach - You can also use 20 ounces of fresh baby spinach. If using fresh baby spinach, remove the stems and chop or tear them into small pieces. Combine the spinach and 2 tablespoons of water in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave on high for 45-60 seconds or until wilted; drain. Cool and squeeze dry.

Lighten it Up - You can lighten it up by using nonfat plain Greek yogurt. Or use low-fat sour cream and mayo. Just note the texture won’t be as thick and creamy as with full-fat options.

Storing - Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
