Make ahead munchies are terrific for busy entertaining days. Spinach dip is one of my all-time favorite make ahead appetizers to prepare. Either the classic spinach dip served chilled or a warm and this gooey baked version. Spinach, roasted poblano peppers are mixed with a generous serving of sour cream, cream cheese and mayonnaise to bind it all together. It's then finish with seasonings and cheese.
Helpful Tips for Making Poblano Spinach Dip and More Dip Recipes
- For an even more robust flavor, prepare this dip the day before you want to serve it, cover and chill. The fiesta flavor will become even more intense and enjoyable.
- The poblanos can also be roasted using a gas stove top, if you have one. Use long tongs and hold the peppers over turning a low flame turning as it browns and bubbles, then proceed with the recipe as written.
- Serve this dip 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.
