This Knorr Spinach Dip Recipe served in a bread bowl that is the ultimate throwback party appetizer: creamy, savory, and packed with flavor. This is the dip you bring to a gathering, and people immediately ask, “Who made it?”
It’s no secret that this classic spinach dip recipe has been around forever — but there’s a reason it’s never gone out of style. It’s easy, it’s nostalgic, and it disappears quickly.
This isn’t just any spinach dip recipe. The secret weapon is the Knorr Vegetable Recipe Mix — it gives the dip a deep, savory flavor that’s hard to replicate with scratch seasoning.

And let’s not forget the bread bowl — soft on the inside, crusty on the outside, and perfect for soaking up all that goodness. Everyone loves a bread bowl dip!
Ingredients You’ll Need
- frozen chopped spinach
- mayonnaise
- sour cream
- Knorr Vegetable Recipe Mix
- green onions
- canned water chestnuts
- round loaf of bread (sourdough or Hawaiian)- if serving in a bread bowl
How to Make This Knorr Spinach Dip Recipe:
- Prepare the spinach: Thaw and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
- Mix it up: In a bowl, stir together spinach, mayonnaise, sour cream, Knorr mix, green onions, and water chestnuts.
- Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (up to overnight) so the flavors can blend.
- Serve: Hollow out the bread loaf to create a bowl, pour in the dip, and serve with the bread cubes and fresh veggies for dipping.
Tips for the Best Spinach Dip
- Drain the spinach well. Too much liquid makes the dip watery.
- Let it chill. Don’t skip the rest time — the flavor deepens as it sits.
- Switch up the bread. Rye, pumpernickel, or even mini rolls make great alternatives.
- Add-ins: Try a little shredded Parmesan or a sprinkle of garlic powder if you want to tweak it.
- Make ahead: Prepare the dip a day in advance and keep it covered in the fridge.
- Store leftovers: Refrigerate up to 3 days. Stir well before serving again.
Serving Ideas
This easy spinach dip pairs perfectly with:
- Fresh vegetables like carrots, celery, and bell peppers
- Cubed bread, baguette slices or pita chips
- Tortilla chips
- Crackers or pretzel crisps
