one of my family’s favorite appetizers is the spinach dip with cheesy lavosh from Houlihan’s. when my roommate made a batch of spinach and artichoke dip the other week, i couldn’t help but crave those flavorful lavosh crackers to dip into it. i promptly ran to the store and bought some ingredients to whip them up. they’re super easy to make (only 4 ingredients!) and so delicious with spinach dip. this is a great appetizer to serve at a party or to eat by yourself for dinner, which i may have done. twice.
