Ingredients

  • 1 package 300g frozen chopped spinach
  • 1 container 500ml sour cream
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup yogurt optional
  • 1 can 220ml water chestnuts, drained and finely chopped
  • 2 green onions thinly sliced
  • 1 packet Knorr vegetable soup mix

Instructions

  • Defrost the spinach, then wash and squeeze out any excess water.
  • Finely chop the water chestnuts and thinly slice the green onions.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the spinach, sour cream, mayonnaise, yogurt (if using), green onions, and water chestnuts.
  • Add the packet of vegetable soup mix. (I usually like to crush the soup mix before adding it, but that’s optional.)
  • Mix everything well, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
  • Serve with bread, crackers, or vegetables.

Notes

🟢 Squeeze That Spinach!
Make sure to remove as much water as possible from the thawed spinach. Excess moisture can make the dip watery and dilute the flavor.
🟢 Crush the Soup Mix (Optional)
If you prefer a smoother texture, lightly crush the Knorr vegetable soup mix before adding it. This helps distribute the dried veggies and seasoning more evenly.
🟢 Let It Chill
Don’t skip the chilling time! Letting the dip rest in the fridge for at least 2 hours helps the flavors come together and gives a better texture.
🟢 Adjust Creaminess
If you like a creamier dip, add a bit more sour cream or mayonnaise. Want it lighter? Use Greek yogurt for a healthy twist.
🟢 Add a Cheesy Kick
For extra richness, mix in some shredded mozzarella or parmesan. You can even bake it for a warm, cheesy version.
🟢 Make it Your Own
Customize with extras like minced garlic, chopped artichoke hearts, or a dash of hot sauce for a unique flavor twist.
🟢 Serve in a Bread Bowl
Hollow out a round loaf of bread and serve the dip inside for a fun and rustic party presentation. Use the leftover bread for dipping!
