Knorr Vegetable Spinach Dip Recipe

If you all remember the classic television commercial for Knorr soup, then you might also remember the dip. The Knors vegetable spinach dip recipe was something that made headlines. All the posh neighborhoods would make and serve this as a side dish. Instead of cheese dip, spinach dip was the “healthy” item to munch on. Even though it had a bunch of vegetables, the mayo part was questionable as a healthy item. I don’t know about you all, but nostalgia has recently hit hard. And the best way to remember the old days was through food. The Knorr vegetable spinach dip is one of the first things that came to mind when I thought about the 80s.

This dip is perfect to be served at Christmas and can also be versatile as a couch snack. The dip is served either with a bread bowl, chips, biscuits, or a steak. Either way, the taste remains intact. This Knorr’s Spinach Dip recipe is original, and there isn’t much to improve on it. But I added a bit more chili and green onion for the crunch.

Know About The Knorr Vegetable Spinach Dip Recipe Ingredients

Knorr veggie dip is one of the most hyped-up foods of the 1980s. Though people loved the idea of using packaged soup, the soup mix evolved. For example, they added it to a dip. Even Knorr’s official website will offer the same recipe. Here we are including the authentic Knorr spinach dip. We include the ingredient list.

Ingredients 

Spinach: If you remember the cartoon Popeye, then you remember the importance of eating it. However, most people will eat spinach with salads. But one of the most indulgent ways to eat spinach would be with a dip. The Knorr veggie dip is creamy and savory. You can use a whole frozen package of spinach to make the dip. Thaw the spinach and wash it with water. Then chop them finely and add them to the mix.

Sour Cream: 2 Cups of sour cream are used in this recipe. Sour cream has a thick consistency, but it doesn’t feel heavy. The tanginess from the sour cream will make the dip healthier. You can use any store-bought sour cream. And for a healthier choice, you can go with low-fat sour cream.

Mayonnaise: 1 Cup of mayonnaise is used here. It’s really easy to make mayonnaise at home. Otherwise, to be vegan and healthy, switch to vegetarianism. They taste similar. The mayonnaise will bind all the ingredients together and create a homogeneous dip.

Knorr Vegetable Soup Mix: The Knorr veggie dip was named after the Knorr vegetable soup mix. Though you can get vegetable soup from the mix, the spices work nicely as a dip. The mix is packed with vegetables like carrots, tomatoes, garlic, leeks, peas, broccoli, and many others. The seasoning consists of soy sauce and salt. Thus, all of it combined will give a nice flavor as well as the goodness of veggies. You can use 1 package of the Knorr vegetable mix in the dip.

Water Chestnuts: These are also known as Chinese water chestnuts. They have a white surface and rounded edges. They can be eaten raw or used as a grill. But in the dip, we are adding them to enhance the munch. We suggest you use the canned water chestnuts in the dip. 1 cup of water chestnuts is added.

Spring onions: This item is optional but using 3 to 4 springs of green onions will add freshness to the dip. However, you serve the dip, just put them on top.

Cherry Tomatoes: These are also used to garnish the dip. The sweetness of the tomatoes will balance the savory taste of the dip.

Green Chilies: Well, this is also optional. But I like my dip a little bit hot. One green chili on top is perfect for me.

To Serve the Knorr Vegetable Spinach Dip

Biscuits: You can bake some biscuits in the oven for 10 minutes. And then, put the dip on top of the biscuits. Or just use the dip as the stuffing for the biscuit.

Bread Bowl: Take a round loaf of bread and then remove the middle part. That’s how you have a hollow part in the middle. Pour the dip into the bread bowl and serve.

Crackers: Buy some crackers from the convenience store and serve the dish as a side.
