Zesty Spinach Dip

Bonnie Young's Note:

Your ordinary spinach dip is usually kind of bland. This recipe gives a little kick. Once I tried it I never went back to my other recipe, you will be sure to get raves on this. You can tone it down a little but I don't recommend it.

Wonderful dip, Bonnie!! I particularly liked the addition of the Tabasco sauce. I would have never thought to add it to a spinach dip. You are right, it gives it a nice zip. I will be replacing my old recipe with this one. Thanks so much. :-)

Hey there-I used beef bouillon and a little extra tabasco-wow what a super dip! The flavors blend together well and no, I wont be going back to the bland spinach dip again! This is so much better! Di
