Knorr Spinach Dip Recipe
Description
The recipe begins by mixing sour cream and mayonnaise with chopped water chestnuts and scallions, introducing creamy and crisp components. The Knorr vegetable mix adds seasoning, including savory vegetable flavor and herbs. Cooked and squeezed-dry spinach is folded in to distribute evenly without clumping. The dip is refrigerated for at least two hours or overnight to develop its flavor and texture.
This chilled dip combines creamy richness with the crunch from water chestnuts and freshness from scallions, offering contrasting textures. It is typically served as an appetizer with chunks of bread or fresh vegetables for dipping.
Water chestnuts provide distinctive crunch and are generally found in well-stocked or international grocery aisles. Frozen spinach can be substituted with fresh; if so, steam and press out moisture beforehand. The Knorr mix originally labeled as a soup mix is essential for authentic flavor, although leek soup mix can be used as an alternative. Leftovers keep refrigerated up to four days.
