Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package Knorr Vegetable Soup Mix
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
- 1 can water chestnuts, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Thoroughly thaw the frozen chopped spinach and drain completely, pressing out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Ensure spinach is as dry as possible to prevent watery dip.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine sour cream and mayonnaise, creating a smooth base for the dip.
- Add the entire package of Knorr Vegetable Soup Mix to the sour cream and mayonnaise mixture, stirring until well incorporated.
- Drain and finely chop the water chestnuts into small, uniform pieces to add crunch to the dip.
- Add the chopped water chestnuts, drained spinach, lemon juice, garlic powder, and onion powder to the mixture.
- Gently fold all ingredients together until evenly distributed, ensuring no dry spots of seasoning remain.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and develop.
- Before serving, stir the dip and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve chilled with crackers, vegetables, or bread.
Tips
- Moisture is the Enemy: When preparing spinach, squeeze out every drop of liquid. A dry spinach means a thick, creamy dip without watery separation.
- Chill for Maximum Flavor: Refrigerating for at least 2 hours allows the seasonings to meld and intensify, transforming a good dip into an extraordinary one.
- Customize Your Crunch: While water chestnuts are traditional, feel free to experiment with diced bell peppers or chopped green onions for added texture.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve with a variety of dippers like pita chips, fresh vegetable sticks, or crusty bread to keep things interesting.
- Make Ahead Friendly: This dip actually gets better after 24 hours in the refrigerator, making it perfect for advance party preparation!
