--------  ------------  --------------------------------
 10            ounces  frozen chopped spinach -- (1 package), thawed
and drained
 2                     scallions -- (small, thin ones)
 1              large  egg -- hard-cooked
    1/3           cup  light mayonnaise
    1/3           cup  sour cream -- or yogurt
 1         tablespoon  Dijon mustard
    1/2    tablespoon  Tabasco sauce
 2        tablespoons  lemon juice
    1/4      teaspoon  salt

Press out liquid from spinach with the back of a tablespoon until no
liquid appears.  Chop spinach and scallions fine with a knife; or
chop fine, using metal blade of a food processor, but do not
puree.  Chop egg fine with a knife, or shred, using coarse shredding
disc of a food processor.

In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice,
mustard, Tabasco, and salt until smooth.  Stir in spinach, scallion,
and egg.  Cover tightly and chill.  To preserve color of spinach,
serve dip several hours after it is made.  Offer with tortilla chips.

Makes about 2 cups dip.

NOTES : I've had this recipe so long that it precedes the days of
low-fat or fat-free products.  I'm sure light mayo will work;
probably could also use ff sour cream/yogurt.  Everyone seems to love
this dip, but it's been several years since I've prepared it.  My
recipe doesn't state number of servings, so I calculated servings as
follows:   Assuming the 2 cups is correct, and assuming 2T per
serving, this would serve 16.
