Knorr Spinach Dip Ingredients
- Sour cream (2 cups): This gives the dip its tangy, creamy base and keeps the flavor bright and fresh. Or use plain Greek yogurt.
- Mayonnaise (1 cup): Adds richness and a silky texture, making the dip feel extra creamy and scoop-able.
- Knorr Vegetable recipe mix (1 (1.4-ounce) package): The secret flavor booster, it adds that savory, herby veggie seasoning everyone recognizes.
- Frozen chopped spinach, thawed, cooled and squeezed dry (1 (10-ounce) box): Adds color, texture, and a classic spinach flavor, squeezing it dry keeps the dip from getting watery. To use fresh spinach, add a pound of spinach in a skillet with 3 tablespoons of water. Cover with a lid and cook until spinach has wilted. Wring dry.
- Sliced water chestnuts, drained and chopped, optional (1 cup): Adds a crisp crunch that makes every bite more interesting.
- Scallions, thinly sliced, optional (3): Adds a fresh oniony bite and a little extra color.
- favorite dippers: Vegetables: celery sticks, baby carrot sticks, broccoli florets, leeks, radishes, or cucumber. Bread and crackers: Ritz, Triscuit, butter crackers, pita chips, Wheat Thins, Sourdough Bread, French Bread), Tortilla Chips, Fritos, pretzels, or crostini

Kristyn’s Recipe Tips
- Squeeze the spinach really well, use paper towels or a clean kitchen towel, so the dip stays thick and creamy.
- Chop water chestnuts small so you get crunch without big chunks taking over the dip.
- Chill for at least 2 hours. The flavor gets so much better as it sits.
- Taste after chilling and adjust the seasonings. If you want more zip, add a squeeze of lemon juice or an extra pinch of mix.
- Variations: Sprinkle on crumbled bacon bits or mix in some shredded cheese.

The measurements of the sour cream and may can’t be right. There’s too much of this and not enough spinach and you can’t taste the knorr seasoning. I’ll have to run to the store to get more seasoning and spinach.
Adding more spinach and seasoning is a easy adjustment for those who prefer those flavors to be more prominent. I’m sorry you needed to make another trip to the store though. Thanks for giving the recipe a try!
