Spinach dip
Spinach dip is a dip that uses spinach as a primary ingredient.[1] Frozen spinach may be used in its preparation.[1][2] Additional primary ingredients may include mayonnaise, cream cheese, sour cream and cheese.[3] Slow cookers may be used to prepare the dip.[4] Examples of accompaniments to spinach dip include bread, crackers and chips.[1] Many casual restaurant chains offer spinach dip on their menus.[1] Several commercially prepared, mass-produced spinach dips exist that are sold in grocery stores and supermarkets.[5]
Presentation
A simple presentation is the dip served in a small bowl or large ramekin. A bread bowl prepared using hollowed-out bread filled with spinach dip is another presentation method.[2] Spinach dips are sometimes served hot.[1][6][7]
