Classic spinach dip blends sour cream, mayo, and a spice mix full of C.R.A.P. such as corn syrup, partially hydrogenated oil, MSG, and artificial caramel color. Instead, try a version that’s simple and natural.

Just tested this out for Superbowl party and I think it will be a hit. I feel confident no one will know it’s made with Greek yogurt. The heat makes it more exciting then traditional spinach dip
