"A delicious dip to serve with crackers. Very good with pita chips/crisps or even fried pita bread."

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Yields: 4 cups
• Serves: 16

ingredients

• 6 ounces fresh spinach
• 8 ounces water chestnuts, drained
• 3 green onions, sliced in 1/8-inch pieces
• 16 ounces sour cream
• 8 ounces mayonnaise or 8 ounces whipped cream cheese
• 1 teaspoon celery salt
• 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
• 1 tablespoon parsley, fresh or dried

directions

1. Cut spinach leaves into 1" wide strips, place in microwave on high power for approx 1 minute to wilt leaves slightly. Drain very well on paper towels, squeezing as much water out as possible.
2. Cut water chestnuts into small chunks (don't mince, about 1/4" pieces, I use a manual food chopper).
3. Mix all ingredients in medium size bowl. Refrigerate several hours to blend flavor. Dip is better made the day before and left to set overnight. If this is done, stir well before serving.
