This is a nice recipe but as others have said, it is a bit dry. I took this into consideration and added 2 heaping tbsp of light sour cream but next time I made add yet another tbsp. The taste is very nice and we did enjoy it. I also like that it uses "light" mayo and cheese. Thanks for the recipe!

Yummy! This recipe can also be found on page 29 of the Kraft Food & Family Magazine, Holiday 2008/Winter 2009 edition. I was about to post it and HERE IT IS! Thanks so much Lainey! :-)

I liked that this dip was made with items that I regularly have on hand, so would be a great one to make on short notice. I made ahead as directed and it worked out great. I agree with jonesies, it was on the dry side compared to other spinach dips that I've made. I stirred in a bit of cayenne pepper for a little kick and sprinkled some on top for looks. Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders game.

My teenage daughter made this recipe for an evening appetizer snack and it was enjoyed by all. Delightful taste. I would add just a tad more mayo to the mix as it was a little dry, but that could have been daughter's measuring skills! Thanks for posting a great recipe!
