Easy Knorr Spinach Dip Recipe 🌱 (2024)

This knorr spinach dip recipe is the easy spinach dip recipe that used to be printed on the back of the knorr vegetable soup mix packet.

A packet of Knorr vegetable mix combined with sour cream, mayonnaise, minced fresh water chestnuts, chopped spinach and chopped scallions to make one of my favorite spinach dips ever! This is perfect for those who want a no-cream cheese party dip.

This recipe will be part of my Thanksgiving appetizer menu this year as well as our dipmas party menu. Grab a second box of frozen spinach and make a recipe of artichoke spinach dip.

✨ Here is why this Knorr spinach dip recipe is an easy recipe to make:

• Simple ingredients make for a delicious vegetable spinach dip.
• Would I be showing my age if I called this a 'vintage recipe'?
• One bite and everyone is asking for this recipe!

📝 Recipe Ingredient Notes:

• Knorr vegetable soup mix - the dry knorr vegetable recipe mix is the base of this amazing easy dip. Don't be fooled, the recipe is not on the back of the packet anymore.
• Spinach - I take help from frozen spinach for this recipe. Frozen chopped spinach is one of the best values in the grocery store, ounce for ounce and will quickly thaw.
• Fresh Water Chestnuts - canned fresh water chestnuts are found in Chinese recipes but work so well in this recipe. They have a mild if not absent flavor but offer a delightful juicy crunch to this dip. Be sure to drain and chop them if you can only find whole.
• Mayonnaise - When the mayonnaise percentage in a recipe is as high as it is as in this recipe, about 50%, you want to use full fat or high-quality mayo.
• Sour Cream - Same with the type of sour cream you use in this recipe. Use a full-fat sour cream for a full flavor profile.

🔄 Substitutions And Variations

• Fresh Spinach - if you can't find frozen spinach at the grocery store, use a pound of baby spinach in place of the 10-ounce block of frozen. Be sure to chop the spinach finely before steaming it down.
• Artichoke Hearts - add another layer of flavor and crunch, dice up a drained can of artichoke hearts, and add it when you mix in the chopped spinach.
• Green Onions - finely chop 2-3 green onions, green parts, and the white parts, and add them to the dip.
• Greek Yogurt - swap out the sour cream for greek yogurt.

🔪 How to make the best spinach dip recipe

1. Chop the fresh water chestnuts, cook and drain the spinach.
2. In a large bowl combine all the dip ingredients, stirring to combine completely.
3. Chill in the refrigerator in a closed container for a minimum of 2 hours, overnight is preferred.
4. Stir the dip before serving in a hollowed-out bread bowl with bread cubes and vegetable crudites.

❄️ Storage Tips

Store the leftover knorrs spinach dip in a closed, airtight container in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours before you are ready to serve. If the dip looks 'wet' or the dried vegetables look like they are in a puddle, that is because they are just rehydrating. Give the dip a quick stir and you are all set to serve the best dip ever!

🍽️ What are the Serving Suggestions?

My mom always served the Knorr vegetable dip in a bread bowl. Back in the day, she had to special order it from the bakery manager at the grocery store. Thankfully, they are more readily available these days.

My favorite type of bread bowl to serve the dip in is the pumpernickel flavor. It pairs perfectly with this creamy dip. But pumpernickel boules are only available in my area during the winter holiday season.

Carrot sticks, broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, zucchini sticks and other fresh vegetables as well as toasted crostinis or crackers are other items to serve when I make this dip. But I love the classic bread.

👩‍🍳 Chef Tip

I love bread cubes with this dip! I purchase a second bread bowl and cube it up so there is enough bread to dip into this dip.
