The Best No Bake Spinach Dip

I mentioned last week that we had an 80’s party over here. Oh yes we did. And we left photo evidence.

So duhhhh.

80’s parties need 80’s food.

Believe me when I tell you I Googled that mess.

And all kinda crazy things pop up when you ask Google about 80’s food. Like I think I should write a directive, just to help a search engine out.

Anyways, people suggested all kinds of dumb/gross things with regard to what-we-ate-in-the-80’s.

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I ate lots of Kraft mac n’ cheese in the 80’s. And I liked it.

The Best No Bake Spinach Dip Recipe

 After some very serious research, I learned that spinach dip is so very 80’s. Spinach Dip!!! But probably that ooey gooey cheese-laden full-of-mayo spinach dip of yesteryear that was baked in a small ceramic crock and brought to the table with a pile of tortilla chips.

You know what I’m talking about.

I gave that spinach dip a makeover. Toned down the blue eye shadow. Laid off the neon shimmer lips. Put down the hairspray.

Made over spinach dip is so stupid good and ridiculously easy. It’ll be ready before you can yell, “Shoulder Pads!!!”

kidding.                                                      Kind of.

Really though this spinach dip is fresh and fast and protein-rich. I sauteed the spinach really fast on the stove with garlic, but it is totally no-bake and ready to serve in less than 10 minutes. It really is The Best No Bake Spinach Dip.

Spinach Dip with Fresh Spinach

Bonus! Remember when I stuffed a roasted chicken with spinach dip? Let’s do that again.

Hi Ann!

Frozen spinach is more work because you have to remove all the water it's holding. Fresh is easier and faster.

I love spinach dip, no matter what decade and your version looks AMAZING! Also, the fact that I don't have to turn on my oven is a major, major plus :)
