Since it needs to chill in the fridge for at least six hours, it actually makes more sense to make it the day before you plan to serve it. How to Store Spinach Dip Place the spinach dip in a shallow, airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to two days. Do not let it sit at room temperature for more than two hours at a time. Can You Freeze Spinach Dip? Freezing and thawing spinach dip will change its texture a bit. If you would still like to freeze it, ladle the spinach dip into freezer-safe bags, squeeze out the excess air, and freeze flat for up to three months.
