A favorite for any gathering, the delicious spinach dip (Knorr vegetable dip or Knorr Spinach 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 20 minutes to make.
Serve the dip with crackers, bread, or an assortment of fresh vegetables. My crew prefers crackers. Plus, the bread doesn't stay fresh if you have leftovers, and the texture is off.
Knorr Spinach Dip Recipe
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, and I don't have the fancy setups many food bloggers use.
With just six ingredients, you can make Knorr spinach dip in a flash. It is hard to resist on a buffet table, either in the bread bowl or on a serving tray surrounded by crackers.
The first few times I made the dip, I served it in the bread bowl, but my family didn't really care for the bread with the dip, so why go to the expense and waste?
Knorr Vegetable Soup Mix
Who knew a little bag of soup mix could have so much flavor? The dried mix contains dehydrated vegetables, spices, flavor enhancers, and, I believe, a thickening agent.
The original spinach dip recipe is from the back of the Knorr Vegetable Soup package. I believe the brand was initially called Knorr Swiss, but I can't find any information about that, so who knows? Maybe I dreamed that.
Utensils You Need to Make and Serve the Dip
You will need a knife, a cutting board, measuring cups and spoons, a bowl, and a serving platter.
Knorr Spinach Dip Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 package Knorr Vegetable Soup mix dried mix
- 1 can of water chestnuts, drained and chopped into small pieces
- 1 10 or 12-ounce package of frozen chopped spinach
- 3 green onions, whites and tender green parts only, chopped (I sometimes add extra)
- 1 16-ounce container of sour cream
- 1 cup mayonnaise
Directions:
-
Thaw spinach and squeeze out excess water. Pressing between paper towels seems to help.
- Use a chopper to dice the water chestnuts into small pieces.
- Slice the white part of the green onions and about an inch of the greens into thin slices.
-
Mix all ingredients and refrigerate the mixture for at least one hour.
-
Place the dip in a serving bowl or 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. To be fancy, 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 and lay the scooped-out pieces of bread on the platter for those who enjoy eating their dip with bread instead of crackers.
Your guests will be impressed that you worked so hard to make it. You can also serve it in small cups with pretzels or crackers. Our favorite crackers are Sociables and Wheat Thins.
Tip: Mix the ingredients 4 to 5 hours before serving to let the flavors meld.
The dip should keep well for up to a week!
