I didn’t grow up with Knorr Spinach Dip, but the first time I had it, I knew I’d been late to the party. After one bite, I was already planning how to make it at home.
It’s cold, creamy, and full of that savory, herby flavor you only get from the Knorr vegetable soup mix. The chopped spinach gives it color and a mellow earthiness, but the real surprise is the crunchiness of the water chestnuts. They catch people off guard in the best way.
I’ve brought this to a game night, birthdays, even a backyard wedding once, and there’s never a spoonful left.
You don’t need a food processor, fancy gadgets, or even a stove. Just a big bowl and a few simple ingredients.
It only takes 10 minutes to prepare, and once it chills, you’ve got a delicious dip that’s ready for anything.

Can I Make Adjustments to the Recipe?
Absolutely. This easy spinach dip recipe leaves plenty of room to make it your own.
We created this creamy spinach dip using full-fat sour cream and mayonnaise for its classic, creamy texture. However, you can substitute low-fat sour cream or Greek yogurt for a lighter version that still satisfies. Light mayonnaise works too, but note that the flavor will be slightly sharper.
For more crunch, try adding finely chopped bell peppers or sliced celery. If you prefer a milder flavor, consider substituting diced cucumber for the water chestnuts.
Want to give it a little kick? Red pepper flakes, a few dashes of hot sauce, or even some chopped green chile all play perfectly with the creamy base.
You can also stir in sweet corn, crispy bacon bits, or chopped black olives. If it sounds good, it probably is.
How to Make Knorr Spinach Dip
Follow along with my simple step-by-step instructions to learn how to make Knorr spinach dip in your home kitchen.

How to Store Knorr Spinach Dip
Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Give it a quick stir before serving again to freshen up the texture.
Freezing is not recommended, as it can cause the creamy base to separate once thawed.
Recipe FAQs
Use the Knorr Vegetable Recipe Mix (the soup mix). It’s the same one folks have been making spinach dip with for years, even if the back of the packet shows soup directions. Don’t worry, it won’t suddenly turn into soup when your back’s turned.
You sure can. Just cook it down first, squeeze out as much moisture as you can, then chop it up nice and fine. You’ll want about the same amount as you’d get in a 10-ounce frozen package once it has been drained.
Definitely, you already need to chill it for at least two hours, but making it the night before gives the flavors even more time to come together. It’s a perfect make-ahead appetizer for busy days when you want something ready to go.
