Spinach Dip

Recipe #9974 | 10 min | 10 min prep | add private note

By: Kathy Strickland
Jul 4, 2001

This recipe came from our cookbook at the beauty shop where I work. We had many pot lucks, and every one wanted this and that recipe, so we all gave recipes and had our own book printed and sold them in the salon.

SERVES 6 -8 , 3 -4 Cups (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen spinach, thawed and drained

  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup mayonnaise (not Miracle Whip)

  • 1 (1 ounce) package Knorr vegetable soup mix (or onion soup mix)

  • 1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and chopped (optional)
  • 1/2 chopped onion

Directions

  1. 1
    Thaw and drain the spinach.
  2. 2
    Squeeze the spinach with paper towels to remove excess water.
  3. 3
    Mix all ingredients together in a bowl.
  4. 4
    Let set in the fridge for a couple hours before serving.
  5. 5
    I like to use a round loaf of bread for serving it inches.
  6. 6
    Scoop out the loaf and place dip inside.
  7. 7
    I use what I scoop out for making croutons.
  8. 8
    Serve with fresh vegetables.

    Very yummy!!! I added a bit more sour cream maybe more like 1 1/2 cups total and I added 3 green onions instead of regular onion...definitely will make it again...very good. One occasion I add crab meat to my spinach dip for another alternative.

    This is one of my family's favourite appetizers; I think the recipe originally came from the back of the Knorr vegetable soup package. I always use Hellman's Light mayo but I tried it with the Leek soup mix this time; it was just as delicious as the original version! In addition to its intended use, its worth the minor investment in a potato ricer to remove the water from the spinach. Thanx Kathy!
