Ingredient Notes and Substitutions
With these common ingredients, you'll have a delicious and easy keto-friendly spinach dip.
- Spinach. I used fresh spinach, cooked and squeezed dry. You can also use 14 oz. of frozen spinach instead. I find that the fresh spinach gives it a better flavor and a fresh taste.
- Cream cheese. I used full-fat softened cream cheese. If you want to cut calories, you could use low-fat cream cheese.
- Sour cream. I used full-fat sour cream, but you can use lower fat sour cream.
- Mayo. I used avocado mayo for this dip, but you can use your favorite mayo.
- Black pepper. This adds great flavor to this dip.
- Onion powder. It adds more great flavor without being too overpowering.
- Garlic powder. You could also use finely minced fresh garlic.
- Worcestershire sauce. This really adds to the flavor.
- Green onion. I used chopped fresh green onion. You could also use 1 tablespoon of onion flakes instead of fresh onion.
- Parmesan cheese. Don't leave this out; it is SO good.

How to Make The Best Keto Spinach Dip Recipe
This low-carb version of traditional spinach dip is quick and easy to make.
Step 1: Place spinach in a large skillet.
Step 2: Heat over medium heat until wilted, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and cool.
Step 3: Place softened cream cheese in a medium bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth.
Step 4: Add sour cream and mayo and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Step 5: Add black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce to the cream cheese mixture. Blend until well combined.
Step 6: Add chopped green onion and parmesan cheese to the cream cheese mixture. Blend until smooth at low speed.
Step 7: Squeeze out excess water from the spinach. I squeeze it with my hands, then wrap it in a paper towel and squeeze some more to remove all the moisture. Place the spinach on a large cutting board and chop it with a knife.
Step 8: Add chopped spinach to the cream cheese mixture. Stir in with a spoon or spatula. Transfer the creamy spinach dip to a serving container. Top with extra chopped green onion if desired, and serve!
