Recipes Tips
If you don’t have Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix, you can make your own by combining dried parsley, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
If you want to make the dip ahead of time, you can mix all the ingredients together except for the spinach. Add the spinach just before serving to prevent it from getting too watery.
If you want to add some extra flavor to the dip, you can add some grated Parmesan cheese or chopped bacon.
