How to make keto spinach dip
Step 1: Thaw the spinach and squeeze out all of the liquid. You want "dry" spinach to mix with the creamy ingredients.
Step 2: Chop finely, into small pieces.
Step 3: In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise and sour cream. Mix well.
Step 4: Add in the spices and mix until well combined.
Step 5: Stir in the spinach.
Step 6: Mix until the spinach is evenly incorporated throughout the dip.
You can serve right away but we prefer to let it chill in the refrigerator for an hour or so. Serve with your favorite keto bread, keto crackers, or chopped low carb veggies.
Don't forget to serve your guest dessert. Make our smooth and creamy keto cheesecake. They won't have a clue that it's low carb.
Expert tip
We tested this spinach keto dip recipe with regular mayo, light mayo, avocado oil mayo, and coconut oil mayo.
Regular full fat mayonnaise - This was our favorite. It had the best flavor and texture overall. We also like using full fat mayo in our classic keto deviled eggs recipe.
Low fat mayonnaise - The flavor was satisfying, just a lighter and the dip was a thinner consistently.
Avocado oil mayonnaise - We really like the unique flavor and it is a healthier version.
Coconut oil mayonnaise - This version wasn't our favorite. You couldn't taste the coconut but it had a vinegar zing to it.
For another recipe that uses fresh ingredients, try our crisp cucumber salsa or our easy 4 ingredient guacamole.
FAQs
Yes, you can use fresh spinach to make this spinach dip. Chop the stems off of 12 ounces of fresh spinach and cook it in a skillet with a little oil.
Once the spinach has cooked down, let it cool to room temperature. Squeeze the liquid out just like you would with frozen spinach.
You can use your hands or a paper towel to remove the water from the cooked spinach. Spinach has a lot of liquid so keep squeezing. Once all the liquid is removed, chop the spinach and add it to your dip.
You most likely didn't wring your spinach enough before making your dip. It is crucial to try and get as much water out as possible.
Yes! This dip is perfect for making the day ahead of any gathering. The flavor profile will actually get better.
Storage
Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
If you wish to freeze your spinach dip, (in case of using fresh cooked spinach) allow it to cool to room temperature first. A ziplock freezer bag works well, remove all of the air before sealing. Freeze for up to 60 days.
To defrost, thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Texture may change slightly after freezing.

📖 Recipe
Keto Spinach Dip
Equipment
Ingredients
Spinach Dip:
- 10 oz. frozen spinach chopped
- ¾ cup mayonnaise
- 1 ¼ cups sour cream
- ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Thaw the spinach and squeeze as much water out as you can. Wring it like a towel, not kidding.
- Chop up the spinach until its fine. The reason I recommend chopping it is because the spinach stems get stringy in the dip if you leave them whole. Even with pre chopped frozen spinach.
- In a small mixing bowl, mix the mayonnaise and sour cream.
- Add in the Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder and salt.
- Stir in the spinach and mix until everything is combined.
- Chill for at least an hour.

Hello,
So I’ve begun my keto journey and wish to prepare your spinach dip which looks very delicious.
Can you please suggest some options as what to serve with it that is extremely low in carbs other than raw veggies?
Thanks a million!

Pork rinds and cheese crisps or cheese chips are both great options that are low in carbs.

This was really good. . I used Japanese Kewpie Mayo. What about adding cream cheese? does that still make it keto? So for the 3/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 1/4 cups sour cream currently in recipe, instead I would try 1/2 cup Mayo, 1 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup softened cream cheese.

Hi Mary,
I'm so glad you liked it. You can add cream cheese, just make sure to add the carbs if you're counting macro.

My family loves this! The little ones call it fat girl spinach dip. My 6year old granddaughter loves making it. It never makes enough for family gathering lol. I love the fact that the little's dive into it and are getting a nutritious green. I use half and half mixture of sour cream and yogurt
