For a richer flavor, substitute half of the sour cream with mayonnaise. Ensure the spinach is thoroughly drained to prevent a watery dip. Squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible after thawing. To add a touch of sweetness, consider including a small amount of finely diced red onion or a sprinkle of sugar. If you don't have time to chill the dip, it can be served immediately, although the flavors will be more pronounced if allowed to meld. For a visually appealing presentation, use a variety of colorful vegetables for dipping.
