Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Mixing spoon or spatula
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Colander or clean kitchen towel
  • Airtight container

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package 10 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed
  • 1 container 16 ounces sour cream
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 packet 1.4 ounces Knorr Vegetable Recipe Mix
  • 1 can 8 ounces water chestnuts, drained and finely chopped, optional
  • 3 green onions thinly sliced, optional

Instructions
 

  • Remove the frozen spinach from its packaging and thaw it completely. You can thaw it overnight in the refrigerator or use the microwave according to the package directions. Once thawed, place the spinach in a colander and press out as much liquid as possible. For the best texture, squeeze it firmly in a clean kitchen towel. Excess moisture can make the dip watery.
  • Add the sour cream and mayonnaise to a large mixing bowl. Stir until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined. These ingredients create the creamy base that helps the vegetable seasoning blend distribute throughout the dip.
  • Sprinkle the Knorr Vegetable Recipe Mix into the bowl and stir well. Add the thoroughly drained spinach, then mix until it is evenly distributed. If using water chestnuts and green onions, fold them in now for extra crunch and a fresh onion flavor.
  • Cover the bowl or transfer the mixture to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Chilling allows the seasoning to hydrate and the flavors to blend. For a stronger flavor, prepare the dip the night before.
  • Before serving, stir the dip well and taste it. The seasoning mix usually provides enough salt, so additional salt may not be necessary. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and serve chilled with crackers, sliced vegetables, pita chips, or bread.

Notes

Drain the spinach thoroughly: This is the most important step for a thick, creamy dip. Too much liquid can make the mixture runny.
Use the correct seasoning mix: Knorr Vegetable Recipe Mix is the classic choice for this recipe. Knorr products and packet sizes can vary by country, so check the package and adjust as needed.
Skip the water chestnuts if preferred: They add a crisp texture, but the dip is still delicious without them.
Adjust the consistency: For a thicker dip, use a little less mayonnaise. For a lighter texture, replace some of the mayonnaise with additional sour cream or plain Greek yogurt.
Make it ahead: This dip can be prepared up to 24 hours before serving. Keep it covered and refrigerated until ready to serve.
