There’s something about a creamy, chilled spinach dip that instantly brings people together—whether it’s a casual get-together, a holiday spread, or just a snack while watching a movie.
The Knorr Spinach Dip, in particular, has earned its spot as a go-to party dip for good reason. It’s simple, crowd-pleasing, and oh-so-delicious with its smooth texture and rich flavor.
The best part? It’s not just tasty; it’s incredibly easy to make! With just a few ingredients—Knorr vegetable soup mix, sour cream, mayo, and a bunch of spinach—you’ll have a dip that’s ready to wow guests in no time.
The blend of savory, tangy, and creamy flavors makes it impossible to stop dipping. Serve it with crispy naan bread or a warm cottage cheese flatbread, and the experience is even better.
Plus, the cool, fresh spinach gives the dip a vibrant green color that brightens up any snack table.

Tips that Will Ease Your Job
- Use Fresh Spinach: If you opt for fresh spinach, steam it gently until just wilted, then finely chop it. This helps maintain a vibrant color and fresh taste.
- Enhance Texture: For an added crunch, toast the water chestnuts lightly in a pan before dicing and adding them to the dip.
- Flavor Boost: To elevate the flavor, mix in a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce or a dash of hot sauce.
- Herb Addition: Fresh herbs like dill or parsley can add an extra layer of flavor. Finely chop and mix them in just before serving.
- Cheese Upgrade: Stir in a handful of finely grated Parmesan or Asiago cheese for a richer taste.
- Presentation Tip: For a more attractive presentation, garnish the dip with a few extra green onion slices or a sprinkle of paprika.
- Chill Time: Allowing the dip to chill for at least 4 hours (instead of just 2) can further enhance the flavors as they meld together.
- Serving Idea: For a more rustic presentation, serve the dip in a hollowed-out round loaf of bread, but be sure to keep extra dip on hand for refills.
