Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 package (10 oz) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well-drained
- 1 container (16 oz) sour cream
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 package (1.4 oz) Knorr Vegetable Recipe Mix
- 1 can (8 oz) water chestnuts, drained and chopped
- 3 green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, and Knorr Vegetable Recipe Mix until well blended. This mixture forms the creamy, flavorful base of the dip.
- Add Vegetables: Stir in the thawed and well-drained chopped spinach, chopped water chestnuts, and chopped green onions. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated, ensuring even distribution of flavors and textures.
- Chill the Dip: Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. This chilling step is essential as it allows the flavors to meld together and the dip to thicken slightly.
- Serve: Once chilled, serve the spinach dip cold alongside fresh vegetables, crackers, or scoop it into a hollowed-out pumpernickel or sourdough bread bowl for an attractive and tasty presentation.
Notes
- Make sure to squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the thawed spinach to prevent the dip from becoming watery.
- Using a hollowed-out round loaf of pumpernickel or sourdough bread adds an attractive and functional serving vessel for the dip.
- This dip can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days for convenience.
- For a lighter version, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
