Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1 — Prepare Ingredients

Gather 1 package of Knorr Vegetable recipe mix, 1 package (10 oz) frozen chopped spinach (thawed and squeezed dry), 1 cup mayonnaise, 1 cup sour cream, and 1 can (8 oz) water chestnuts (drained and chopped).

Tip: Squeeze spinach thoroughly in a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture—this prevents a watery dip.

Step 2 — Combine Base Ingredients

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise and sour cream. Stir until smooth and fully incorporated.

Tip: Use room temperature sour cream for easier mixing and a creamier texture in your Knorr Spinach Dip.

Step 3 — Add Knorr Mix

Sprinkle the Knorr Vegetable recipe mix over the mayonnaise and sour cream base. Stir well to evenly distribute the seasoning.

Tip: For extra flavor, let the mixture sit for 5 minutes so the dried vegetables and herbs can soften slightly.

Step 4 — Incorporate Spinach and Water Chestnuts

Add the squeezed spinach and chopped water chestnuts to the bowl. Mix gently but thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.

Tip: Chop water chestnuts finely if you prefer a smoother dip, or leave them chunkier for added crunch.

Step 5 — Chill the Dip

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.

Tip: Chilling allows the flavors to meld and the Knorr seasoning to fully hydrate, enhancing the overall taste of your spinach dip.

Step 6 — Check Consistency and Adjust Seasoning

After chilling, stir the dip and check the consistency. If it’s too thick, stir in a tablespoon of milk or buttermilk.

Tip: Taste and adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt, black pepper, or a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.

Step 7 — Serve and Enjoy

Transfer the Knorr Spinach Dip to a serving bowl. Serve with crackers, bread, or fresh vegetable sticks.

Tip: For a party, hollow out a round bread loaf, fill with dip, and use the bread pieces for dipping.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Mistake: Using frozen spinach without properly draining it. Fix: Squeeze out all excess water using a clean kitchen towel to prevent a watery dip.
• Mistake: Not letting the dip chill long enough before serving. Fix: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours so the flavors can fully meld together.
• Mistake: Substituting the Knorr vegetable soup mix with another brand. Fix: Stick with the Knorr mix, as its specific seasoning blend is key to the authentic flavor.
• Mistake: Overmixing the ingredients until the dip becomes gummy. Fix: Gently fold everything together just until combined for a creamier texture.
• Mistake: Using low-fat sour cream or mayonnaise. Fix: Use full-fat dairy products for the richest, creamiest Knorr Spinach Dip consistency.
• Mistake: Adding raw onions that are too pungent. Fix: If using fresh onion, finely mince it or briefly soak in cold water to mellow the sharpness.
• Mistake: Skipping the step of chopping the spinach finely enough. Fix: Give the spinach a rough chop after draining for easier dipping and better distribution.
• Mistake: Serving the dip immediately after mixing. Fix: Always allow time for the dried soup mix to rehydrate and soften in the refrigerator.

Storing Tips

• Fridge: Store your Knorr Spinach Dip in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
• Freezer: Freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
• Reheat: Warm gently on the stove or in the microwave, stirring frequently, until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for food safety.

Always use clean utensils when scooping dip to help maintain freshness and prevent spoilage.
