The Best Ever Spinach Dip

Entertaining, Recipes December 15, 2022

I’m featuring some of the appetizers you know and love. They’re kind of “retro” and might bring back some good memories for you! Today: Knorr Spinach Dip! I’ve been making Knorr Spinach Dip for decades and I just love it. It’s so much better than any pre-made spinach dip you’d buy in a store.

With its bright green and confetti colors, it’s festive enough for a family Christmas movie night, a home New Year’s Eve celebration or a pot luck holiday party. Tomorrow is Ugly Christmas Sweater Day…maybe bring this to an Ugly Sweater Christmas Party! Make sure to make this at least 3 hours in advance so that the flavors can blend. Serve in a bread bowl for a special touch. This keeps well overnight in the refrigerator, if any is left!

Gather:

  • A mixing bowl.
  • A serving bowl or bread bowl to hold the dip, plus a platter for dippers.
  • Dippers (ideas: Triscuits, Pita Crackers, Bagel Thins, Stacey’s Naked Pita Chips, baby carrots or carrot sticks, celery sticks, jicama sticks, grape tomatoes and sliced bell pepper).

Ingredients:

  • I package of Knorr Vegetable Recipe Mix. It is usually with the gravy and Hollandaise sauce mixes.
  • 1 ten-ounce package of frozen, chopped spinach (like the square, frozen block kind). Bring to a boil but do not overcook the spinach. Part of the appeal of the dip is the bright green color.
  • 1 16 oz container (2 cups) of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
  • 1 cup of Hellman’s mayonnaise. (I use light Hellman’s mayonnaise in my dip)
  • 1 can of water chestnuts
  • 3 green onions
  • If desired, add a squeeze of lemon juice, a dash of garlic powder or a dash of Tabasco
  • Parsley garnish, if desired

Directions:

  • Cook the frozen spinach. Drain and squeeze dry by pressing it through a colander or sieve with paper towels.
  • Combine the Knorr mix in a mixing bowl with the mayonnaise and sour cream/yogurt and stir well.
  • Add the spinach and mix well.
  • Drain and chop a can of water chestnuts. Add them to bowl and mix well.
  • Chop 3 green onions. Add them to the bowl and mix well.
  • Put plastic wrap or a lld over the bowl and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
