Ingredients You’ll Need

- 8 ounces mayonnaise – Adds richness. Light mayonnaise can be used if you’re watching calories.
- 1 package Knorr vegetable recipe mix – This seasoning is key for an unforgettable taste, but you can replace it with other vegetable or ranch dressing mixes for a different flavor profile.

How to Make Knorr Spinach Dip
Prepare the Spinach: Start by thawing the 10 ounces of frozen spinach and squeeze out as much water as possible. Using a colander lined with a cheesecloth or paper towels, press down on the spinach until it’s fully drained. This prevents a watery dip—very important for texture!
Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine 16 ounces of sour cream and 8 ounces of mayonnaise. Add the package of Knorr vegetable recipe mix. Whisk until everything is blended, creating a smooth and creamy base.
Combine Ingredients: Next, gently fold in the drained spinach and 3 chopped green onions into the creamy mixture. Make sure everything is mixed well for even flavor distribution.
Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least one hour, or overnight if you can wait. The longer it sits, the better the flavors meld together.
Serve: Once you’re ready, give the dip a quick stir and transfer it into a serving dish or a bread bowl for a fun presentation. Pair it with carrot sticks, assorted veggies, or your favorite bread for dipping.
Storing & Reheating
For best results, store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. It’s best enjoyed cold, but if you have leftovers and want to warm it up, place it in a microwave-safe dish for about 30 seconds at medium power. While reheating may change the texture slightly, a good stir should refresh its creaminess. Avoid room temperature storage for long periods to keep flavors intact.
Chef’s Helpful Tips
- To avoid watery dip, ensure the spinach is as dry as possible after thawing.
- Start with all ingredients at room temperature; this helps them blend more smoothly.
- If you’re planning to make it ahead, consider serving it in a chilled dish to keep it fresh.
- To enhance flavor, drizzle a little extra seasoning or a squeeze of lemon juice right before serving.
- For those who love a kick, try adding a dash of hot sauce or some red pepper flakes for a spicy version.
The creamy goodness of Knorr Spinach Dip is hard to resist, and its versatility allows you to experiment with flavors and ingredients. Whether it’s for a holiday gathering or a simple movie night, this dish ticks all the boxes for flavor, ease, and fun.
