Ingredients
- 12 ounce frozen chopped spinach
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 16 oz full fat sour cream
- 1 packet Knorr vegetable mix
- 3 green onions (chopped )
- Juice of half a lemon (optional)
- 1 large round sourdough or pumpernickel loaf
Instructions
- Cook the spinach in the microwave or stove top, according to package directions. Drain the spinach, then use paper towels to squeeze out any excess moisture. *See note
- In a large bowl, combine the drained spinach, mayo, sour cream, vegetable mix, green onions, and lemon juice, if using. Stir until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until ready to serve.
- When ready to serve, use a bread knife to cut a circle around the outside of the bread loaf, angling your knife towards the center, and leaving about a half inch around the sides and the bottom. Remove the center, then use the knife and/or your fingers to remove any extra pieces.
- Spoon the dip into the center of the loaf, then cut the remaining bread into cubes for dipping. Serve with veggies, bread, and/or crackers for dipping.
Notes
- Squeeze the spinach dry. This is the #1 mistake people make. Even after draining, frozen spinach holds a lot of water. Wrap it in paper towels and squeeze firmly, you'll be surprised how much liquid comes out. Note: You don’t need to cook the spinach!
- Chill for at least 2 hours. The flavors need time to meld. Overnight is even better. Don't skip this step!
- Taste before serving. Once the dip has chilled, give it a taste. You may want to add a pinch of salt, extra lemon juice, or another dash of green onion.
- Serve it cold. Unlike hot spinach artichoke dip, this Knorr spinach dip is meant to be served chilled. It's the perfect make-ahead appetizer because it actually tastes better after sitting in the fridge.
- The dip will keep well in the fridge for several days. We recommend storing it in a sealed glass container. Refrigerating the dip in the bread bowl can make the bread soggy and stale.
