Ingredients
- 10 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed and moisture squeezed out
- 1 1/2 cups sour cream
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 package Knorr Vegetable Soup mix
- 1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
- 3 green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare Spinach: Ensure the frozen chopped spinach is fully thawed and squeeze out any excess moisture to prevent the dip from becoming watery.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the prepared spinach, sour cream, mayonnaise, Knorr Vegetable Soup mix, chopped water chestnuts, and chopped green onions. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Chill the Dip: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, though preferably overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and develop a richer taste.
- Serve: Before serving, transfer the dip to a bread bowl if desired, or place it in a serving dish. Accompany it with fresh vegetables, crackers, and chunks of bread for dipping and enjoy.

- Using the Knorr Vegetable Soup mix adds a unique depth of flavor and seasoning to this dip.
- For a lower-fat version, substitute light sour cream and mayonnaise.
- This dip improves in flavor if refrigerated overnight.
- Serve with a variety of dippers like carrot sticks, celery, bell peppers, or crusty bread.
