V.D. Dip

My mom loved to make dips. A true family favorite was her spinach artichoke dip which made the rounds at holiday meals and each time my brother came for a visit.

I chuckle as I type this blog because my favorite version of this dip is Julia Reed’s V.D. Dip. I will pause long enough for you to let your mind go wild, but the truth is Julia’s mother made this dip and served it to every “visiting dignitary” that came to her home, hence, the shortened version of her dip name.

The ingredient list includes butter, frozen chopped spinach, cream cheese, and canned artichoke hearts. It would not be “southern” without the final ingredient of Ritz crackers.

The recipe is simple and so delicious. It also provides lively conversation at the dinner table!
