How to Make Fresh Spinach Dip

  1. Saute 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion in 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until tender (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. Stir in 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Add 3 cups finely chopped fresh spinach and cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds, or until spinach wilts.
  4. Quickly stir in 8 ounces cream cheese until melted and smooth. Immediately remove from heat.
  5. Add 1 cup sour cream, 2 tablespoons milk, and 1/2 cup bacon crumbles. Pour mixture into a serving bowl.
  6. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours, or up to 36 hours, to allow flavors to meld.
  7. Before serving, check consistency. If too thick, stir in additional milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
