Recipe Tips and Substitutions

Tips and Tricks

Drain the spinach extremely well. This is the most important step. Squeeze thawed spinach firmly with clean hands or a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture and prevent a watery dip.
Chill before serving. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight, so the Knorr seasoning fully blooms and the dip thickens.
Stir before serving. A quick stir redistributes seasoning and smooths the texture after chilling.
Chop add-ins finely. Finely chopped water chestnuts and green onions give even texture without overpowering each bite.
Serve cold for best flavor. This dip is meant to be served chilled; warming it will thin the texture.

Substitutions

Mayonnaise: You can swap in regular mayo. Or, light mayo can be used, but the texture will be slightly thinner
Sour cream: Full-fat Greek yogurt can replace up to half for a lighter option Avoid fat-free versions as they can make the dip watery
Frozen spinach: Fresh spinach can be used (about 1½ lbs), sautéed and well-drained
Water chestnuts: Can be omitted or swapped with finely diced celery for crunch
Green onions: Can be replaced with finely minced chives or omitted entirely
