People have a love-hate relationship with spinach. Whether you wrinkle up your nose at the sight of a green leaf or buy a jumbo bag every week, these recipes will change your view on the veg forever. We’ve got everything from vibrant soups to creamy chicken dishes, all chock FULL of spinach.
When we think spinach, our minds immediately go to spinach and artichoke dip. It’s probably one of our top favorite dips (and we’re ALL about dip at Delish). Don’t believe us? We have 15! iterations of the dip on this list, in everything from mains to appetizers.
Another fave: creamed spinach. If you’ve only ever had it from frozen, you’re missing out. We like it so much, we’ve got the OG recipe, plus a number of other recipes that take inspiration from the combo of cream and spinach, like our bacon wrapped cauliflower or creamed spinach stuffed salmon. If you want the simplicity of creamed spinach without the dairy, try our sigeumchi namul, or garlic-sesame sautéed spinach. Soy sauce and sesame pair perfectly with sautéed spinach, and it’s a delicious way to use up a ton of wilting greens at once.
Our last fave flavor combo involving spinach is Italian tuscan. We’re not sure where the term originated (Olive Garden, maybe?), but even though we know it’s not the most authentic, we’re ALL about it. We generally take it to mean full of veggies like spinach, mushrooms, and red peppers, and you’ll find it here in pastas and chicken and salmon dishes.
