YOU’LL LOVE THIS RECIPE BECAUSE IT’S:

• Prep-ahead-friendly: You can make this easy dip the day before to cut down on day-of party prep. Plus, the flavors get better and better as it chills.
• Great for a crowd: This recipe makes 30+ servings and can easily be doubled or tripled for large holiday parties.

Ingredients

• Frozen Chopped Spinach: The essential green foundation of the dip.
  • 💡 Chef’s Secret: Getting the spinach completely dry is the absolute key to success. After thawing, wrap the spinach in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze it vigorously over the sink until no more liquid drops out. Leftover moisture will turn your velvety dip into a watery, separated mess.
• Sour Cream & Mayonnaise: This classic dairy duo forms the rich, smooth, and scoopable base of the dip. The mayonnaise provides structure and a savory depth, while the sour cream adds a light, refreshing tang that cuts through the richness. Full-fat versions yield the best restaurant-style texture, but plain Greek yogurt makes an excellent high-protein substitute for the sour cream.
• Knorr Vegetable Recipe Mix: The flavor powerhouse of the dish. This dry mix contains a concentrated blend of dehydrated carrots, onions, leeks, and cabbage that rehydrate in the dairy base, infusing every bite with deep, savory umami flavor.
• Green Onions: Finely chopped scallions provide a beautiful bright green contrast, a fresh crisp crunch, and a mild onion flavor that perfectly complements the rehydrated vegetables in the mix.
• Fresh Garlic: Adds a punchy, aromatic bite that upgrades the boxed mix and makes the entire dip taste completely homemade. Always use freshly minced cloves rather than the jarred, pre-minced variety to avoid a bitter aftertaste.

Step-by-Step Recipe Instructions

Prep and Mix the Dip

1. Squeeze the spinach: Thaw, drain, and squeeze dry frozen spinach, using a cheesecloth or paper towels.
2. Combine all ingredients: To a large mixing bowl, add your thawed spinach, sour cream, mayo, Knorr Vegetable Recipe Mix, chopped green onions, and minced garlic cloves, and stir until well combined.

Chill and Serve

3. Chill to marry flavors: Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
4. Stir and serve: Stir before serving, and enjoy!

Recipe Tips and Variations

Secrets for Success

• 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 water and prevent a soupy 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.
• Serve cold for best flavor: This dip is meant to be served chilled; warming it will thin the texture.

Storage Tips

• Room Temperature: The mayonnaise and sour cream base spoils quickly at room temperature. Never leave the dip out on a party table for longer than 2 hours.
• Refrigerator: Store the dip in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

PRO TIP: If your event lasts several hours, divide the dip into two small bowls. Keep one bowl in the refrigerator and swap them out halfway through the party.

Variations

• Make it healthier:  For a healthier version you can swap regular mayo for light mayo and up to half of the sour cream with Full-fat Greek yogurt. Avoid fat-free versions as they can make the dip watery.
• Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach can be used (about 1½ lbs), sautéed and well-drained.
• Add chopped water chestnuts: The original recipe calls for water chestnuts, but I can’t stand the texture, so I leave it out. If want that perfect crunch, but don’t like water chestnuts, either, you can substitute with finely diced celery.
• Add chopped water chestnuts: The original recipe calls for water chestnuts, but I can’t stand the texture, so I leave it out. If want that perfect crunch, but don’t like water chestnuts, either, you can substitute with finely diced celery.
• Add artichoke hearts: Tossing in a can of chopped artichoke hearts adds a high-end touch with almost zero effort.
