A favorite for any gathering, this delicious Knorr Spinach Dip (sometimes called Knorr Vegetable Dip) is made with dried vegetable soup mix, spinach, water chestnuts, sour cream, mayonnaise, and green onions. This chilled appetizer is no-bake and takes just about 20 minutes to make.
Serve the dip with crackers, chunks of crusty bread, or a platter of raw vegetables such as carrots, celery, broccoli, and cherry tomatoes. My crew prefers crackers instead of the sourdough bread featured in the original recipe.
Knorr Spinach Dip Appetizer
This classic spinach dip is a favorite appetizer, especially for holiday parties and potlucks. You might think, “Spinach in a dip?” Believe me, it’s good.
I just updated my old photos today. The hardest part about food blogging is taking decent pictures. I don’t have the fancy setups many food bloggers use, but this dip is so good it pretty much poses for you.
Why You’ll Love This Knorr Spinach Dip
With just six simple ingredients, this classic Knorr spinach dip comes together in about 20 minutes and chills in the fridge until you’re ready to serve. It’s a no-bake, make-ahead appetizer that disappears fast at holiday parties, potlucks, and family get-togethers. You can keep it classic or change it up with a few easy mix-ins.
How to Serve Knorr Spinach Dip
The first few times I made the dip, I served it in a bread bowl, but my family didn’t really care for the bread with the dip, so why go to the expense and waste? Now I simply spoon it into a pretty serving bowl and surround it with crackers and fresh veggies.
If you want to get fancy, you can still serve it in a sourdough bread bowl. To make the bread bowl, cut the top off the sourdough bread and scoop out the soft interior, leaving a thin layer of bread around the edges. Spoon the dip into the bowl, then lay the scooped-out bread pieces on the platter for those who prefer to eat their dip with bread rather than crackers.
You can also serve it in small cups with pretzels or crackers for easy grab-and-go portions. Our favorite crackers are Sociables and Wheat Thins.
I made this pretty serving stand for Christmas this year. You can see how I put it together over on my DIY website....Create Christmas Stands From Dollar Tree Dishes.
What You Need To Make and Serve the Dip
You will need a knife, a plastic strainer bowl, a cutting board, measuring cups and spoons, a mixing bowl, and a serving platter.
Knorr Spinach Dip Recipe
The original spinach dip recipe is from the back of the Knorr Vegetable Soup package. When I was growing up, we called the soup mix Knorr Swiss. Was that the name on the package at one time?
Ingredients for Spinach Dip:
- 1 package Knorr Vegetable Soup mix dried mix
- 1 can of water chestnuts, drained and chopped into small pieces
- 1 package (10-12 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed
- 3 green onions, whites and tender green parts only, chopped (I sometimes double the onions)
- 1 16-ounce container of sour cream
- 1 cup mayonnaise
How To Make Spinach Dip
-
Thaw spinach and squeeze out excess water. I place the spinach in a plastic strainer and press the water out with my hands and paper towels.
- Use a chopper to dice the water chestnuts into small pieces. (my favorite mini chopper)
- Slice the white part of the green onions and about an inch of the greens into thin slices.
-
Mix all ingredients, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
-
Place the dip in a serving bowl or on a platter, surrounded by the crackers or raw vegetables of your choice.
This vegetable dip is one of those dishes you should have in your recipe box or online file. It seems the holidays are when most people serve the dip, but I make it year-round. It is a hit at family get-togethers.
Make Ahead and Storage
I like to mix the dip 4–5 hours before serving so the flavors have time to meld. It should keep well in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Give it a quick stir before serving.
Simple Variations To Knorr Dip Recipe
- Leave out the water chestnuts (if you don’t like the crunch)
- Add extra green onions for more onion flavor
- Add a small amount of cream cheese to make it richer and thicker
- Use yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter version
- Toss in red pepper flakes or green chilies (drained) if you like a little heat
- Add crumbled bacon (bacon makes everything better)
