    Delicious. It's still sitting in the fridge but it was good before it even sat. :D Thanks so much for a spinach dip recipe without a soup mix in it. I left out the pine nuts because I don't like them and I added a little shredded cheese to my final mix instead. MMMM MMM MMM

    Spinach Pesto Cheese Ball, From the St Louis Post-Dispatch , Delicious It’s still sitting in the fridge but it was good before it even sat 😀 Thanks so much for a spinach dip recipe without a soup mix in it I left out the pine nuts because I don’t like them and I added a little shredded cheese to my final mix instead MMMM MMM MMM, Super quick and easy and so divine for an outdoor picnic Made this for PAC used the dry skillet to toast nuts (as the heat here is high) Also dried the cooked basil and spinach with paper towels to remove excess moisture as they seemed way to damp for the mix Served with champagne crackers to a family/friends gathering of 40 plus people You were ranked in the top 5 hordeurves! Super job Thank you
