recipe of the week: lora's (copycat) spinach sour cream dip

i discovered trader joe's spinach sour cream dip awhile back.  and while this version isn't *exactly* the same, it's pretty darn good.  and definitely keeps me from spending $3/week on a tiny tub of dip!  


it's embarrassingly easy, but i'll still share it :-)


spinach sour cream dip


1/2 a bunch of organic spinach
1 large handful of fresh parsley
1/2 cup organic sour cream (i use trader joe's)
1/2 cup mayo (i use olive oil mayo)
1/4 cup mozzarella (optional--i usually leave it out)
generous sprinkles of sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, red pepper flakes, nutmeg garlic powder and onion powder


begin by processing (with the shredding disk) the spinach and parsley.  once they are well chopped, switch to the dough blade.


  add the sour cream, mayonnaise and spices and process until well blended.  


refrigerate for at LEAST an hour to further blend the flavors. (i usually refrigerate for several hours or overnight before serving) 



enjoy!  according to my recipe input program a 2 tbsp serving (without cheese) contains 80 calories, 6.5 g fat, 116.6 mg sodium, and 3.7 g carbs.

we love spinach dip at our house, but rarely eat it. This looks like a great recipe to try! :o)

jay doesn't like mayo or sour cream...and making something this yum that he won't eat just might be the beauty of it all ;)
