Instructions
- Cook Spinach: Prepare the frozen chopped spinach according to the package instructions, typically by boiling or microwaving, then drain thoroughly to remove any excess water to avoid a watery dip.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, chopped water chestnuts, diced scallions, and the entire packet of Knorr Vegetable Recipe Mix. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly blended.
- Stir in Spinach: Fold the well-drained cooked spinach into the sour cream mixture, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the dip for consistent flavor and texture.
- Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the dip for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to let flavors meld and the dip to thicken.
- Serve: Transfer the chilled spinach dip into a bread bowl for an attractive presentation and serve it alongside fresh vegetables for dipping.
Notes
- Ensure the spinach is thoroughly drained to prevent a watery dip.
- For a lighter version, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
- Can be made a day in advance for better flavor development.
- Use fresh scallions for a milder onion flavor; green onions may be substituted.
- If a bread bowl is not preferred, serve in a regular bowl with crackers or chips.
