Spinach Dip (Without the Mix) revised




Renee Found this Great recipe over at the "Chinese Grandma" blog. found here:
http://chinesegrandma.com/2013/06/spinach-dip-no-mix
She made it and Loved it and Shared it. So I decided to try it out too. I LOVED Spinach Dip back in the day, before changing my Diet, and I was very pleasantly surprised to find that I could actually use this recipe! Ive made a few alterations ie:I cut the recipe in half, but doubled the spinach and the water chestnuts. so I decided to re-post it the way I made it and LOVED it!

INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup Plain Yogurt
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayo
3/4 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/8 tsp. garlic powder

3/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (make sure it's GF- I used Lea&Perkins Brand)
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1- 8oz can of water chestnuts (drained and chopped fine)
1- 16 oz pkg. frozen chopped spinach (thawed and squeezed as dry as possible)

Directions
  1. In a large bowl mix well: yogurt,  sour cream and mayonnaise with the onion powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper and Worcestershire sauce.
  2. Make sure you squeeze the spinach well to get out all excess water. Add spinach to the bowl along with chopped onions, and chopped water chestnuts. Chill before serving to allow dip to absorb flavors.
  3. Serve with cubes of GF bread, GF crackers, Apple slices, carrot slices or celery sticks! (jasmine's faves are the bread cubes, and apple slices)
Notes
  • If you have time, you can thaw frozen spinach in a colander in the sink. Otherwise, microwave to defrost.
