Sour Cream Spinach Dip

[digkv]

Does anyone have a recipe for Spinach Dip that's cold. Trader Joe's makes one, and I know that there's the dip that you can use Vegetable soup mix but I don't like pre-mixed things, I want to make an all nautral one. Does anyone have a recipe for a cold sour cream spinach dip?

Currently toasting finely diced onion because of this thread. I'm not even sure I can get soup powder here (Paris) not that I want to, anyway.

Realize I would miss the onion toastiness so figured to give it a shot.

From a '70s-era alumnae cookbook, when spinach dip was wildly poplular and "alumnae" was used:

1 pkg frozen chopped spinach
1 c sour cream
1/2 c mayo
1/2 c chopped parsley
1/2 c sliced scallions
1/2 tsp Beau Monde (a Spice Islands thing; probably could
just use celery salt)
1/2 tsp chopped dill
salt & pepper

Cook & drain spinach. Mix all else in a bowl, add spinach, mix thoroughly. Cover & chill overnight.

I make this pretty much as written (more herbs, usually) and although no one comments on it much, it's always gone quickly. I think the dill is important.

Uh-oh-- post from 2007. Oh well.

I'm glad this got resurrected! I "inherited" a jar of Beau Monde and it's so salty that I didn't quite know what to do with it. We often go to house concerts with a potluck & this is going into the 'quick fix' idea pool. Thanks!

My pleasure! I also use the BM (hur hur) on or in devilled eggs and tuna salad and so forth. Hope you enjoy the dip!

Oh thanks again! BM (hurrrrrr) potato salad might be tasty as well - inspired!
