A simplified version of spinach dip. Add your own favorite seasonings to change up the flavors. Try Italian seasoning, taco seasoning mix, or various dry soup mixes (even the flavor pack from a package of ramen is good in here!)

ingredients

10 ounces frozen chopped leaf spinach, thawed
2 teaspoons butter or oil
1/2 cup chopped onions
1 pint mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
salt and pepper, to taste

directions

Drain the spinach well. Place the spinach in paper towels and press firmly to remove excess liquid. Place the spinach in a bowl.

Heat the butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is soft. Add the onion to the bowl.

Add the mayonnaise and sour cream to the bowl and mix well. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover the bowl and chill for 1 hour or overnight.

Serve with vegetables or chips for dipping. To serve in a bread bowl, hollow out a loaf of pumpernickel bread and fill it with the dip just before serving time.

Definitely needs seasoning but it's a nice simple base that you can build on. Didn't want one of the recipes that used a soup mix packet because of the preservatives and sodium so I just winged it and added some spices on my own.

Needs more seasoning but it's easy to make. I think using something like onion soup mix or something with salt is what it needs.
