Need a quick and delicious appetizer?  Carrot and Spinach Dip is a delicious dip loaded with spinach, fresh carrots, celery, plus 5 additional ingredients.  It’s simple to make, and about 10 minutes to prepare, this luscious dip will make the perfect appetizer for entertaining.

We love to incorporate fresh vegetables into simple dips like this one.  This recipe is adapted from our favorite dip, our easy cold spinach dip.

Any time we add more fresh veggies into a dip = a healthier appetizer!
