Ingredients needed for Knorr spinach dip recipe

Just a few simple ingredients are needed to make this recipe.

Knorr vegetable mix – This mix can usually be found near the soup aisle or by the salad dressing.

Mayonnaise – Use your favorite mayo. I like using full fat but you could use low fat mayonnaise.

Sour cream – Again, use your favorite.

Water chestnuts – I love adding water chestnuts to different recipes. They add a lot of crunch and texture. Water chestnuts are not nuts.

Frozen chopped spinach – Thaw the spinach and then squeeze out any extra water.

Green onions – These are optional.

1. Prepare: Thaw spinach and squeeze any excess water our of spinach. After squeezing, try using a paper towel to help soak up any excess water and remove as much liquid as possible. This is important to avoid having a watery dip.
2. Mix: In a large bowl, stir together a packet of Knorr mix, sour cream, mayonnaise, and water chestnuts. Stir in spinach until combined.
3. Chill: Cover the dip and let chill in the refrigerator. For the best flavor, allow to chill for at least 2 hours before serving.

Can you use fresh spinach instead of frozen?

Yes, if you don't have frozen spinach you can cook down fresh spinach. Take 1 lb of fresh spinach and remove any large stems. Put spinach in a large skillet and cook over medium heat until it starts to wilt down. This will take about 4-5 minutes.

After it cools a few minutes, chop the spinach into smaller pieces. Squeeze as much excess water out of the spinach as possible.

Knorr spinach dip recipe tips

• Be sure to squeeze out any excess water out of the thawed spinach.
• Chop water chestnuts into small pieces.
• For the best flavor, let the dip chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. If I am making for a party, I like to make the day before to let the flavors come together.
• If you would prefer your dip to have a thick consistency, add 8 oz softened cream cheese.

Recipe variations

Artichoke hearts – Add about 1/2 cup diced artichoke hearts.

Cheese – Try adding 1/2 cup of shredded or cubed mozzarella or cheddar cheese.

Protein – You can add cooked, chopped bacon, chipped beef or even chopped salami to add protein to the dip.

How to make hot Knorr spinach dip

How to serve spinach dip

This is a great dip that pairs well with many things. We like serving alongside a charcuterie board or just having some in the refrigerator to eat with veggies. Here are a few of our favorite dippers:

• Vegetables – Cut up vegetables like cucumber, carrots, celery, bell peppers and more are great to serve with this dip.
• Toast – Use small pieces of bread cubes or toast to scoop up this creamy appetizer.
• Baked potato – Use any leftovers to top a baked potato.
• Crackers or chips – Things like butter crackers and corn chips are always a great way to scoop up delicious dip.

How long is Knorr spinach dip good for in the refrigerator?

Store: Leftover spinach dip will last 3-4 days in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

Freeze:Can you freeze spinach dip? I would recommend not freezing. The sour cream and mayonnaise don't hold up well in the freezer.
