Sure, you’ve always seen this dip at graduation parties, baby showers, and other family celebrations. And while the version made by your favorite aunties may be mighty fine, we’d like to humbly suggest this freshened-up recipe. First, we kept the parts of spinach dip that everyone loves — bright green spinach, a bit of mayo, and all the sprinkles and spronkles of seasonings that make it shine.

Then, we cleverly swapped out sour cream for Greek yogurt, which gives the dip a zippy, tangy quality and brightens it considerably. The addition of water chestnuts is a revelation. Skeptical? We were too, until we discovered that they add a welcome crunch you never realized was missing until right about … now. But when you take your first happy scoopful of this better-than-ever dip, you’ll know we were right.

A hollowed-out bread round is a classic serving method, and serving it with crudités on the side will amp up your veggie intake considerably. But true confession: our go-to move is to pair it with sturdy ridged potato chips, like Ruffles.
