    Serve these bite-sized spinach and parmesan morsels with your favorite mustard for a tangy appetizer offering!

    These spinach balls are pretty famous with a group of my online cooking buddies, who have all been making them for yeeeeears.

    I finally got on board and made these as an appetizer for my friend Jenn for one of our weekend slumber parties.

    Lindrusso's Spinach Balls

    These were easy to make, and they make a LOT! I liked them even better leftover the next day. I think that the mustard for dipping is key, as the tanginess really brightens up each bite.

    These would be great for a potluck or dinner party, and I'm told they freeze really well, too!
