Ingredients
- 1 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 3 medium scallions white parts only, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill leaves finely chopped
- ½ cup fresh parsley leaves packed
- 1 small garlic clove minced
- ¼ teaspoon hot pepper sauce
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ medium red bell pepper cored, seeded, and finely diced
Instructions
- Allow the frozen spinach to thaw at room temperature for approximately 1½ hours, or place it in the microwave and heat for 3 minutes at 40 percent power until partially thawed but not warm. Break the spinach into chunks and firmly squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine the spinach, sour cream, mayonnaise, scallions, dill, parsley, garlic, hot pepper sauce, salt, and black pepper. Process the mixture until smooth and creamy, approximately 30 seconds, scraping down the sides of the bowl if necessary.
- Transfer the spinach mixture to a large bowl. Gently fold in the diced red bell pepper until evenly distributed. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve. The dip may be refrigerated for up to two days.
