    knorr spinach dip in a bread bowl.

    This knorr spinach dip recipe is the easy spinach dip recipe that used to be printed on the back of the knorr vegetable soup mix packet.

    This recipe will be part of my Thanksgiving appetizer menu this year. Grab a second box of frozen spinach and make a recipe of artichoke spinach dip.

    ✨ Here is why this recipe is amazing:

    • Simple ingredients make for a delicious vegetable spinach dip.
    • Would I be showing my age if I called this a 'vintage recipe'?
    • One bite and everyone is asking for this recipe!

    🥫 Ingredients needed:

    spinach dip ingredients, mayo, fresh water chestnuts, spinach, knoor veg soup mix, sour cream with text overlays.

    Here is a visual overview of the ingredients in the recipe. Scroll down to the recipe at the bottom for quantities.

    📝 Ingredient notes:

    • Knorr vegetable soup mix - the dry soup mix is the base of this amazing dip. Don't be fooled, the recipe is not on the back of the packet anymore.
    • Spinach - I take help from frozen spinach for this recipe. Frozen spinach is one of the best values in the grocery store, ounce for ounce.
    • Fresh Water Chestnuts - canned fresh water chestnuts are found in Chinese recipes but work so well in this recipe. They have a mild if not absent flavor but offer a delightful juicy crunch to this dip.
    • Mayonnaise - When the mayonnaise percentage in a recipe is as high as it is as in this recipe, about 50%, you want to use full fat or high-quality mayo.
    • Sour Cream - Same with the type of sour cream you use in this recipe. Use a full-fat sour cream for a full flavor profile.

    🔄 Substitutions And Variations

    • Fresh Spinach - if you can't find frozen spinach at the grocery store, use a pound of baby spinach in place of the 10-ounce block of frozen. Be sure to chop the spinach finely before steaming it down.
    • Artichoke Hearts - add another layer of flavor and crunch, dice up a drained can of artichoke hearts, and add it when you mix in the chopped spinach.
    • Green Onions - finely chop 2-3 green onions, green parts, and the white parts, and add them to the dip.

    🔪 How to make knorr vegetable dip: basic instructions

    ❄️ Storage Tips

    Store the dip in a closed container in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours. If the dip looks 'wet' or the dried vegetables look like they are in a puddle, that is because they are just rehydrating. Give the dip a quick stir and you are all set to serve.

    🍽️ Serving Suggestions

    My mom always served the Knorr vegetable dip in a bread bowl. Back in the day, she had to special order it from the bakery manager at the grocery store. Thankfully, bread bowls are more readily available these days.

    My favorite type of bread bowl is the pumpernickel bread bowl. It pairs perfectly with this vegetable dip. But pumpernickel boules are only available in my area during the winter holiday season.

    Carrot sticks, broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, zucchini sticks as well as toasted crostinis are other items to serve with this dip. But I love the classic bread.

    👩‍🍳 Chef Tip

    I love bread cubes with this dip! I purchase a second bread bowl and cube it up so there is enough bread to dip into this dip.
