Photo: Spinach-Ricotta Dip Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons pine nuts
- 1/2 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 medium garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 (10-ounce) package frozen spinach, thawed
- 1/2 cup fresh ricotta
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Serving Suggestion: Flatbread, toasted pita wedges, or lavash crackers
Directions
In a large frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. When oil shimmers, add pine nuts and cook until they make a popping noise and start to brown, about 1 minute. Stir in garlic and onion and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer onion mixture to a food processor fitted with a blade, add in remaining ingredients, and process until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning, as necessary. Serve with flatbread, toasted pita wedges, or lavash crackers for dipping.

I too was hoping to like this recipe as I love dips, esp lower fat versions. I agree with the other posts that this recipe is very bland. I followed the recipe exactly. There is no way to add enough salt and pepper at the end to give this dip flavor. I ended up changing it totally by adding lemon juice, some low-fat mayo, more garlic, red pepper flakes, and some Tabasco sauce. I will never make this one again.

I have been looking for easy dip recipes, and was in hopes that this one would be in that category. I followed the recipe to the letter, and after tasting the finished product, I put the remaining dip down the garbage disposal and threw away the recipe. Food is all a matter of personal taste, but my wife was of the same opinion.

really delish - not for those seeking a smack across the face in terms of bold flavor...subtle and delightful :
