Classic Knorr Spinach Dip Recipe Ingredients
This spinach dip has a special ingredient that makes this dip taste so delicious. Knorr vegetable recipe mix is my go-to seasoning!
Find the full printable recipe with specific measurements below.
- Spinach: Frozen spinach needs to be cooked and drained really well. This will avoid the spinach artichoke dip to become watery. Below are tips for preparing spinach.
- Sour cream: Adds creaminess and taste with the spinach.
- Mayo: This has a flavor and a creamy texture that blends well with other ingredients.
- Knorr vegetable mix: Here is the key ingredient to making this spinach dip even better! Find this in any seasoning aisle.
- Water chestnuts: Drain and chop up the chestnuts. These are an extra added texture and crunch into each bite.
- Green onions: Slice thin and add to the mix for a hint of spice.
- Bread bowl: I like the look and idea of coming from a bread bowl and using the extra bread to dip it in. Use a round loaf of sourdough, country white or Italian bread.
How to Make Knorr Spinach Dip
Cook the spinach according to package directions and squeeze out excess water.
Add mayonnaise, sour cream, and chopped spinach along with all other ingredients into a medium bowl. Mix to combine and season to taste.
Place in the fridge to chill for a minimum of 1 hour.
Add spinach dip into the cut out bread bowl. Slice bread and add around the outside of the bowl.
Tips and Variations
Follow these tips to have an even better classic cold spinach dip recipe!
- Fresh or frozen spinach. Whether you’re using fresh or frozen (freezer section by the veggies), cooked spinach produces a lot of water. Make sure to drain it and squeeze out as much as possible.
- Water chestnuts. They are generally found in the Asian food section. They add a nice light, crispy textural component to the dip but can be omitted if preferred.
- Add additional flavor: A dash or Worcestershire sauce, red pepper flakes or even a pinch of nutmeg add flavor.
- Artichokes: Take it up a notch and make an easy baked spinach artichoke dip! Just stir in a can of drained and chopped artichokes.
- Cheese: If you’d like, you can also sprinkle in freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
- A different seasoning mix. If you can’t get your hands on Knorr vegetable mix, substitute for a dry package of leek soup mix or a ranch seasoning packet. Both are great.
Serving Suggestions
- Hollow out a round loaf of French bread (or bread of choice), cutting a large circle around the top of the bread. Remove the inner bread pieces and pour dip into hollowed-out loaf just before serving.
- Arrange pieces of bread from the middle of the bread bowl. We also enjoy French baguettes, dutch oven bread, pita bread, and breadsticks.
- A veggie platter that includes lots of raw veggies. This can include cucumber slices, broccoli florets, bell peppers, carrots, and celery.
- Have a basket of assorted crackers and chips too!

I used to make this dip years ago and forgot what an easy and delicious dip it is. I like it more spinachy so I use 1.5 cup of sour cream and .5 cup mayo. Always good to let it sit in the fridge before putting in the bread.
