1 tablespoon lemon juice

5. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add red pepper flakes or lemon juice to preference.

Notes
Use room-temperature cream cheese to achieve a smoother blend and easier mixing.
Always dry your spinach and herbs well to prevent excess water thinning the dip.
Chill the dip before serving for deeper flavor and a firmer consistency.
