Instructions

In a medium-sized bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well.
Chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to enhance flavor and texture.
Serve with your favorite dippers. This classic spinach dip is especially delicious in a bread bowl, with the torn bread pieces, crackers, or fresh veggies for dipping.

Notes

The original Knorr recipe calls for cooking the frozen spinach before use. However, most frozen spinach is already cooked and cooled prior to freezing, so there’s no need to cook it again—just thaw and squeeze out the excess liquid.
Use 1 pound of fresh baby spinach instead of frozen. Steam or sauté it with 1–2 teaspoons of olive oil until wilted, then cool completely and squeeze out excess liquid with a clean kitchen towel.
If using canned spinach, drain it well and squeeze out excess moisture with paper towels. Choose a quality brand, like organic canned spinach.

Full-fat sour cream adds the richest flavor, but you can substitute plain Greek yogurt, or low-fat sour cream for a lighter option.
Avocado or olive oil-based mayonnaise works beautifully. Traditional Knorr Spinach Dip uses Hellmann’s or Best Foods mayonnaise, but avoid using Miracle Whip—it’s too sweet for this savory recipe.
How to Store Leftover Spinach Dip
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. If served in a bread bowl, transfer the dip to a separate container before storing.
Do not freeze, as the texture becomes grainy and watery when thawed.
Before serving, give it a quick stir to recombine any separated ingredients.
Please note that the nutrition doesn't calculate the Dip mix (per 2 tablespoon serving: 30 calories, 600 mg sodium and 6g carbs), nor the dippers you choose to dip in the mix, so please use your favorite nutrition calculator and add custom ingredients.
