Preferably not including artichokes, since they aren't in my budget.

I'm a simple guy. When I make spinach dip, I use the recipe on the Knorr (I think) soup mix package.

I'm gonna say spinach + chips = spinach dip and chips. But that's probably really nasty in practice [Smile]

Try allrecipes.com. One of my favorite sites for "I remember that dish that so and so used to make, but how do I make it?"

Go to store
find deli section
buy spinich dip

Seriously, this is one of those places where there is very little difference between store bought and homemade, either taste-wise or price-wise. And I'm a food snob. Just buy it.

1 cup chopped fresh spinach
2 cup plain yogurt (if you have time strain it to make yogurt cheese for a firmer dip)
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh parsley
1/3 cup grated parmesean
3-10 cloves garlic, crushed or minced (I make things very very garlicky, anmd my garlic press is my most important kitchen tool)

Besides that fact that his recipes are great, he gives you enough information to know how to modify them safely.

It's just a great show. I need his books.

Dan Raven award winning cheaters Spinach dip.

1/2 cup Miracle Whip (its sweeter than real Mayo)
1/2 cup Sour Cream (and not that tasteless "Lite" stuff either)
1 container frozen spinach. Hey its cheap.
1 Package Hidden Valley Ranch Dip

Mix it all together.

Its best if you let it sit over night in the fridge.

The standard recipe is the same as Dan's only with Dried Leek soup mix instead of the ranch dip mix.

Dan and Primal Curve had it nearly perfect, except it's worth cleaning and sauteing fresh spinach.

I use a glob of Hellman's mayo, a bigger glob of low-fat sour cream, onion or leek soup mix, and as much spinach as I can cram in.

What's much more important is the type of bread you serve the dip in. Good ole fashioned sourdough is a good choice, since the crust stays crusty and the inside is nice and soft.

So, um, Sarah, or CT, or Glaphyra the Righteous, just how many personalities do you have? And no, I don't mean identities. . . [Eek!]

There is Moody Sara, Philosophical Sara, Silly Sara, and Stern Sara. And Claudia is the one personality to rule them all, the one personality to find them, the one personality to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

This is a favorite of my group of friends. It's super, super easy but tastes great:

2 packages of Hidden Valley Ranch Party Dip Mix - Ranch Flavor
2 10 oz packages of Frozen spinach
8 scallions
2 pints of Breakstone's Sour Cream

Chop scallions fine. Thaw spinach by rinsing it in hot water in a sink with a colander. Chop spinach. Mix Sour Cream with dip mix. Add scallions and then spinach. Mix well.
