Notes

  • For a fun and interactive presentation, arrange the garlic knots on a platter alongside the spinach dip in the center. Let your guests tear off pieces of the garlicky knots and dunk them into the creamy dip!
  • Get creative with garnishes! Sprinkle the dip with chopped fresh herbs like parsley or chives, add a dollop of sour cream, or drizzle with a touch of olive oil.
  • Make it a full meal! Pair the garlic knots and spinach dip with fresh vegetables like carrots, celery, and cucumber for a healthy and satisfying appetizer spread.
  • Don’t forget the drinks! Sparkling water, chilled juices, or even a light beer will complement the flavors of the garlic knots and spinach dip perfectly.
