Santa Fe Spinach Dip- Know What You Eat…
We all know that Spinach, just like other vegetables, is a superfood. It acts as a great source of iron, sodium, and fiber. However, the Santa Fe Spinach dip is a little high on calories, 1320 calories per serving, and you can enjoy a small serving over the holidays.
Can You Store the Spinach Dip?
Many dinner tables are incomplete with a little bowl of dip or sauce that adds more perfection and taste to your cooked meals. Moreover, the best part is you would not have to make a fresh batch every time.
Cheddars Santa Fe Spinach Dip can stay as good as new in the fridge for 3-5 days in a sealed, airtight container and ten days in the freezer. However, we do not recommend storing it because the spinach might go all stale. In addition, the cheesy, spinach-y goodness tastes heavenly when fresh and warm.
Tips for making the best Spinach Dip
- If you want a crispy, golden cheesy layer over the top, use a wider and shallow casserole.
- If you are following SOPs on this Thanksgiving, bake your Santa Fe Spinach dip in individual ramekins.
- Serve with mushroom toast or garlic bread to make the dish even more impressive.
- If you do not want to store the spinach dip and make it fresh every time, you can store the chopped spinach in a vacuum bag in the freezer. It can stay good for a month and will save you time.
