Amazing Knorr Spinach Dip recipe

The first time I made Knorr spinach dip, I forgot to squeeze the water out of the spinach, and that was a big mistake because the dip came out watery and almost like soup, and I remember staring at it and thinking Well, I guess we’ll just call it spinach soup tonight which was not my proudest kitchen moment.

But here’s the thing, because I tried again, and this time, I took my time, and I squeezed the spinach like my life depended on it, and wow, the Knorr spinach dip turned out creamy and full of flavor.

And you know what, because Knorr spinach dip is one of those recipes that never fails to surprise me, since it looks so simple, but when you take a bite, it feels like something you’d get at a party or a nice restaurant.

How to make Knorr spinach dip?

Step 1: Prepare the Spinach

Take your frozen chopped spinach and let it thaw. Once soft, squeeze out as much water as you can. This step is important because extra water can make the dip runny. You can use your hands or press it with paper towels.

Step 2: Mix the Base

In a large mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise and sour cream. Stir them together until smooth. This makes the creamy base that holds everything together.

Step 3: Add the Knorr Mix

Sprinkle the Knorr Vegetable Recipe Mix into the bowl. Stir well so the seasoning blends evenly into the creamy base. This is where most of the flavor comes from.

Step 4: Add Spinach and Extras

Stir in the spinach, green onions, and chopped water chestnuts. Mix everything until it looks evenly combined. The dip should be creamy with little bits of green and crunchy pieces.

Step 5: Chill the Dip

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. This allows the flavors to blend and makes the dip taste even better.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Spoon the dip into a serving bowl or hollow out a round loaf of bread and use it as a bread bowl. Serve with crackers, bread cubes, or fresh vegetables like carrots and celery.

What to Eat with Knorr Spinach Dip?

I love pairing Knorr spinach dip with some Valentine’s Day Heart Cookies because it sounds like an unusual combo, but the sweet cookies with the creamy dip make a fun treat.

So what else can you eat with Knorr spinach dip? Here are some ideas, because sometimes you want crunchy things, and sometimes soft things, and sometimes a little sweet, and sometimes salty, and you might try fresh carrots, or celery sticks, or warm bread cubes, or pita triangles, or tortilla chips, or even pretzels, and of course, some cheese on the side is always a hit.

Tips for Making the Best Knorr Spinach Dip

• Drain spinach well – Too much water makes the dip watery. Squeeze it until no liquid drips out.
• Chill before serving – The dip tastes best when it sits for at least 2 hours in the fridge.
• Add crunch – Water chestnuts or diced bell peppers add a nice crunch.
• Use a bread bowl – Serving in a bread bowl makes the dip fun and edible.
• Make ahead – This dip can be made the night before and stored in the fridge.
• Customize the flavor – Add shredded cheese, bacon bits, or herbs if you want something extra.
• Keep cold – If serving outside, place the bowl in a larger bowl with ice underneath to keep it fresh.
• Double the recipe – If you’re hosting a party, make two batches because this dip disappears fast.
