Preparation

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch the spinach for 30 seconds, in batches if needed.
Transfer the spinach to a colander and rinse well under cold water.
Crush the spinach in the colander with your hands, as firmly as you can, to get out as much water as possible. Finely chop with a knife.
In a large bowl, mix the mayonnaise, sour cream and cream cheese until smooth.
Add the lemon juice, zest, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder and celery salt. Season with pepper.
Stir in the spinach, green onions, garlic, parmesan, chives and dill. Mix, taste and adjust the seasoning.
Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
Stir well, then serve in a dish with the crackers and vegetables. To serve in a bread bowl, cut the top off the loaf, hollow out the inside and cut the bread into cubes. Fill the loaf with the dip and serve with the bread cubes, crackers and vegetables.
