Spinach Dip Recipe
(with bacon and blue cheese)
This is the second Spinach Dip Recipe on our site. In this version, we have added bacon and blue cheese for a more intense flavor combination.
After the spinach has been defrosted in the microwave, you will need to squeeze out the excess moisture. You can do this easily by placing the spinach in a colander and pressing down on it with a fork until most of the water is gone.
