Note
This recipe yields a large batch, roughly four times the size of a typical restaurant serving. Feel free to halve the ingredients for smaller gatherings.
For a richer flavor, you can substitute half-and-half or heavy cream for some of the sour cream.
Ensure the spinach is thoroughly drained to prevent the dip from becoming watery.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warm.
