Spinach Dip

I made this up a number of years ago.

  • 10 oz. frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1/3 c. chopped green onions
  • 1 or 2 vegetable bouillon cubes, dissolved in a little boiling water (I use Better Than Bouillon Vegetable Base)
  • 1 tsp. lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp. worcestershire sauce
  • Hot sauce to taste
  • ½ c. plain yogurt (amount is approximate)
  • ½ c. mayonnaise (Hellman’s or Best Foods) (amount is approximate)
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs

Drain spinach well. In food processor, combine spinach, green onions and dissolved bouillon cubes, processing until finely chopped. Add half the yogurt, mayonnaise and hot sauce, and process until smooth, scraping down the bowl as needed. Add more yogurt and mayo until the mixture is the right consistency and tastes good. You may need other seasonings. Add 1 chopped hard-cooked egg and process briefly. Scrape into serving dish and chill. Garnish with the other hard-boiled egg (chopped) before serving.

Serve with Pepperidge Farm Pumpernickel Snack Sticks. Update 11/16/13: Apparently Pepperidge Farm discontinued the Pumpernickel Snack Sticks a few years ago. Trader Joe’s sells a similar product. Snyder’s Pumpernickel and Onion Braided Twists are a good replacement, if you can find them.
