- frozen spinach
- water chestnuts
- green onions
- cheddar cheese
- sour cream
- mayonnaise
- Italian round loaf
Tips for the Best Loaded Spinach Dip
- Squeeze the spinach really well. Excess moisture is the enemy of a creamy, loaded spinach dip. After thawing, wrap the spinach in a clean kitchen towel and twist until no more liquid drips out.
- Chill it long enough. This dip gets even better after a few hours in the fridge. The flavors deepen, the texture thickens, and the seasoning blends beautifully.
- Don’t skip the water chestnuts. They’re the secret to that signature crunch everyone loves. Even people who “don’t like water chestnuts” end up loving them here.
- Taste and adjust before serving. After chilling, give it a quick stir and taste again. Sometimes it needs a pinch more salt, a little extra cheese, or another splash of mayo to balance everything out.
- Serve it with a mix of dippers. Think tortilla chips, sliced baguette, crackers, cucumbers, and bell peppers. A variety of textures makes the dip feel even more “loaded.”
