Notes

FROZEN CHOPPED SPINACH :

Do you measure the spinach before or after thawing and squeezing out the liquid??

The answer is DEFINITELY measure after it is thawed but before you squeeze out the liquid!! This will give you the right amount of spinach (which will be roughly ½ of a 10oz box, if that's what you purchase). Once you squeeze all the liquid out it will look like a very small amount of spinach, but trust me it is correct.

After you squeeze the liquid from the spinach, crumble and separate it into your mixing bowl, this way the spinach is distributed through your dip and not in one clump.
