I make this creamy and EASY spinach dip recipe almost every time I know I’ve got a big crowd coming. Creamy and cold, served with bread for dipping, I usually double this recipe because people gobble it up. It’s also really great for making ahead of time and bringing to parties or potlucks. Looking for the hot version? Hot spinach artichoke dip is another winter party favorite.
Cold Spinach Dip Ingredients
- Spinach: Frozen spinach is best, and it’s essential to squeeze out all the liquid.
- Mayo: Creamy dips must have mayo!
- Sour cream: Tangy and rich, I always use full-fat sour cream.
- Seasonings: Onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Dijon mustard: You need a little kick, and Dijon is it!
- Worcestershire sauce: Savory and umami deliciousness, it’s my secret ingredient.

Cold Spinach Dip Tips
- If you use fresh spinach: You need to sauté it first and then take care to really wring out all the liquid. That’s why generally for spinach dip frozen spinach is best.
- Remove as much liquid from the thawed spinach as possible, or you might end up with runny dip.
- Make spinach dip ahead of time and simply store in the fridge until it’s time to serve. It’s my favorite party trick!
- Food like this should not sit out at room temperature for more than 2 hours. If it does, you need to pull it off the table and (sadly) dump it.
- Leftover spinach dip keeps for up to 4 days in the fridge, IF it has not been sitting out.
What To Dip In Spinach Dip
- Sliced bread is THE classic thing to dip in spinach dip! You kind of scoop it up with the bread for a utensil-free party experience. Any soft and dippable bread (French bread, baguette, sliced up focaccia) is great.
- I love tortilla chips with spinach dip, too. Just be sure to buy sturdy ones!
- I usually offer veggies, too. Nothing fancy, just sliced up carrots, celery, bell peppers and cucumber.
