Spinach Artichoke Dip
Here’s one that’s a little more universal in its recipe. Spinach artichoke dip earns a spot on the list for those that want to feel like they’re eating a little healthier. We grabbed this one from damndelicious.net. How can you scroll past a name like that?
Ingredients:

- 1/3 cup of mayonnaise (some use ranch as a substitute)
- One tablespoon of red wine vinegar

- Of course, we need the spinach! Make sure you have ten ounces, frozen and packaged). Be sure to thaw and squeeze until it’s dry.
