KNORR SPINACH DIP RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
Dip:
- Frozen Spinach – Draining the spinach well is a great way to make sure this dip is nice and thick. I usually just dump the thawed spinach out of the package into a tea or other small towel and wring out the excess water.
- Using frozen spinach is one of the things that makes this dip such a cinch to put together, but if you want to try using fresh, just steam about 1 ½ pound and chop it as a great substitute. You’ll want to drain the water out of it as well.
- Knorr Vegetable Recipe Mix – What’s in that packet, anyway? Carrots, onions, garlic, tomatoes, leeks, cabbage, peas, and broccoli (which is a slightly different blend than the one used for making the Lipton spinach dip). There’s also a little bit of soy sauce for both salt and an umami flavor that makes this packet a pretty epic seasoner all on its own. It’s so flavorful, in fact, that you can actually make a dip straight from the packet.
- Sour Cream – I use regular, not low fat. Feel free to switch it if you want to save some calories!
- Mayonnaise – I use Best Foods!
- WaterChestnuts – Believe it or not, water chestnuts aren’t really nuts at all. They’re aquatic root vegetables that can be prepared in many different ways. Our canned version has a nice little crunch that enhances your original spinach dip and lots of other dishes. You’ll want to drain them really well and give them a coarse chop.
- Green onions – Thinly sliced.
For Serving:
- round loaf of bread
Serve With:
- sliced vegetables
- sliced baguette
- Hawaiian rolls
- crackers
TIPS FOR KNORR SPINACH DIP
- Edible bowl – If you haven’t made a bread bowl before, it’s a beautiful way to serve this dip (or a rich soup like my cream of broccoli). You’ll want to start with a large round of sourdough bread or a boule (the French word for “ball” to denote those big round loaves of bread).
- Slice about ½” – 1” off the top and set aside. Using a small knife and/or spoon, hollow out the bottom of the loaf, leaving a 2” border around the sides and bottom.
- To keep it from getting soggy (which you’d definitely want to do if you’re filling it up with hot soup), brush or spray the insides with a little olive oil and bake the bread at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes. This step is really optional for this dip; just make sure you let it cool completely before using.
STORING + FREEZING + MAKE-AHEAD
- How Long Can You Keep This In The Fridge? I usually only keep it in the fridge for 3-4 days. Keep refrigerated at all times.
- Can You Freeze This? Unfortunately, you cannot freeze this Knorr spinach dip with water chestnuts recipe. It would do serious damage to the deliciously creamy texture.
- Make-Ahead Tips: Technically, this dip is best made a little ahead because it gives it time to set up and develop one cohesive flavor profile. It can also be made the night before, if that works better for your schedule. I suggest storing your dip in an airtight container in the fridge until you’re ready to serve or spoon it into your bread bowl.

SERVING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SPINACH DIP KNORR
This Knorr vegetable dip recipe goes well with crostini, crackers, or even veggies. I love using carrot sticks, broccoli florets, or sliced bell peppers.
You could also serve them with a few more finger foods like my deviled eggs, Bisquick sausage balls, bacon wrapped smokies, everything pigs in a blanket, pizza pinwheels make a really nice sidekick, too.
RECIPE VARIATIONS
- Saving calories: You can lighten up your dip a little without sacrificing flavor. Substituting low to no-fat sour cream and/or mayonnaise will save fat and calories, but you won’t miss them at all. You can even swap the sour cream for yogurt and you’ll still make a fantastic dip.
HOW TO MAKE KNORR SPINACH DIP
- In a mixing bowl, mix all the dip ingredients.
- Hollow out the center of a round loaf and leave 2-inch of the wall around the edges.
- Pour cold dip into the bread bowl.

Kathleen, Can I use this to make pinwheels?
Hi, Connie. Yes, you can serve this dip with pinwheels 🙂
Well, KNORR HAS DONE OT AGAIN! Bought a packet in December 2023 — to find that they have eliminated the recipe on the back! Ok it’s easy to find – just type Knorr spinach dip in a search engine and you’ll get several answers! But when tryout in the store you want to make sure you get all the ingredients right then and there! Also couldn’t find 10 frozen spinach had to get 8 oz — several weeks later made another batch – again no 10 oz ackage – had to get a 12 oz package! Either way the dip turned out delicious!
There are no measurements how much mayo how much sour cream how many green onions how many waterchestnuts. What’s with that?
Hi, Gloria. The measurements are there. Will also paste it here:
Dip:
1 (10-ounce) box frozen spinach, thawed and well-drained
1 envelope Knorr Vegetable recipe mix
16 ounces sour cream
1 cup mayonnaise
1 (8 ounces) can water chestnuts, well-drained and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup, plus extra for garnish green onions thinly sliced
For Serving:
1 round loaf of bread
Do you cook the spinach
Hi! No need to cook the frozen spinach. Just thaw and drain. Enjoy!
Hello,
What can you substitute for chestnuts? I worry about someone being allergic to nuts.
Hi, Connie! No worries, it’s water chestnut an aquatic root vegetable 🙂
Thanks so good to know, 1st time using chestnut 🙂
I use cream of leek soup mix instead of the veggie mix. It’s awesome. Always use knorr brand. It’s the best.
This is the best spinach dip I never eat
Hey Marie! I agree it’s sooo delicious! Why don’t you eat this!
