Green Veggie Board With Spinach Dip

Prep Time 20 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 20 minutes
Makes 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 head broccoli cut into small florets
  • 4 celery stalks cut into sticks
  • 1 English cucumber sliced into rounds
  • 2 green bell peppers sliced into strips
  • 8 oz sugar snap peas trimmed
  • 1 cup mini dill pickles
  • 10 oz frozen chopped spinach thawed
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green onion
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Squeeze the thawed spinach hard in a clean towel until no more liquid comes out, it should feel nearly dry so the dip does not turn watery.
  • Stir together the sour cream, mayonnaise, drained spinach, green onion, garlic powder, and salt until evenly green throughout.
  • Cover the dip and chill at least 1 hour so the flavors settle and it firms up enough to hold a dollop.
  • Wash and dry the broccoli, celery, cucumber, peppers, and snap peas.
  • Cut the broccoli into bite sized florets and the celery and peppers into sticks about 3 inches long.
  • Arrange each vegetable in its own section on a round board, working clockwise from palest to darkest green.
  • Spoon the chilled dip into a small bowl set in the center and tuck the mini pickles into any gaps.

Good to Know

Make the dip up to 2 days ahead, it only gets better as the spinach settles in; hold the vegetables until the morning of so they stay crisp.
