4 Ingredient Spinach Dip
Description
The 4 Ingredient Spinach Dip recipe begins with thoroughly squeezing excess water from thawed frozen chopped spinach, reducing potential sogginess. Combining mayonnaise, dry vegetable soup mix, sour cream, and spinach creates a rich, creamy base with an herbed flavor profile from the soup seasoning. Optionally adding finely diced red bell pepper introduces a mild crunch and sweetness.
The dip is refrigerated for at least two hours to allow flavors to develop. Before serving, it's garnished with fresh minced chives or parsley for freshness and added aroma. The creamy texture works well as a spread or dip for raw vegetables, crackers, chips, or bread, making it a versatile snack or party offering.
Notes advise preparing the dip up to three days in advance and stirring well before serving. Because the gluten status of the Knorr soup mix can change, checking the package is recommended if dietary restrictions apply.
Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise (I prefer Duke's brand)
- 1 (1.4 ounce) vegetable soup mix Knorr brand; packet
- 1 (10 ounce) spinach thawed, frozen, chopped, package
- 1 (16 ounce) sour cream container
- red bell pepper seeded and finely diced, small; optional mix-in
- chives minced fresh; optional garnish; or parsley
- vegetables raw; for serving
- crackers
- Chips
- bread
Instructions
- Squeeze the spinach dry. In order to get most of the water out, I like to wrap the cooked spinach in a dish towel and wring out the water by squeezing the spinach in the towel.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, vegetable soup mix (just the dry mix), spinach, and sour cream. Add the red bell pepper (or other minced veggies) if you like. Stir until completely combined. Cover and refrigerate for about 2 hours (or overnight) before serving. Garnish with minced fresh chives or parsley just before serving.
Notes
- Prepare the dip up to 3 days ahead and store it covered in the refrigerator; stir well before serving.
- If gluten is a concern, verify the vegetable soup mix packaging each time, as formulations may vary.
