Spinach dip is one of my all-time favorite make ahead appetizers to prepare. Either the classic spinach dip served chilled or a warm gooey baked version like this Roasted Poblano Spinach Dip. In this recipe, chopped spinach and shallots are combined with roasted poblano peppers, sour cream, cream cheese and mayonnaise to bind it all together then finish with seasonings and plenty of shredded cheese. The poblano peppers kick up the flavor and add just the right amount of heat. Serve with tortilla chips for scooping and it’s game on.
Roasted Poblano Spinach Dip
Make ahead munchies are terrific for busy entertaining days. For an even more robust flavor, prepare this dip the day before you want to serve it and chill. The fiesta flavor will become even more intense and enjoyable plus it’s ready to bake when you’re ready to eat. Serve it with a side of your favorite chunky salsa or homemade pico de gallo and a basket filled with tortilla chips for dipping and it’s guaranteed to be gone in a flash.
