Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Add the spinach to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until wilted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Add the chopped spinach to the bowl and gently fold it in. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Transfer the dip to a serving dish, garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired, and serve immediately. Alternatively, refrigerate for 1-2 hours to let the flavors meld together.

Step 8

Serve with crackers, sliced baguette, pita chips, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.
