This spinach dip with water chestnuts is a cold creamy dip made with healthy Greek yogurt, frozen spinach, and chopped water chestnuts for a little bit of crunch. It’s so good, you’ll want to eat it every day!


When I was a kid, my mom and I used to celebrate New Year’s Eve by staying in and eating junk food. Cake, candy, chips and dip. It was the one night a year that she let me go absolutely hog wild and eat whatever the heck I wanted.


One thing that I ALWAYS wanted was a spinach dip sold at the deli counter of our local grocery store. It was a cold, creamy delicious dip made with water chestnuts, and we would eat it with water crackers, and for some reason I just could not get enough of it.


I eventually aged out of our NYE tradition, and I moved away from my hometown, but I can still have spinach dip whenever I want it and I know that it’s what I’ll be making this New Year’s Eve.

    Can this be made with fat free Greek yogurt and fat free sour cream?

    Always used water chestnuts in my spinach dip, but the yogurt is a new twist. Will try this!
