Knorr Veggie Spinach Dip
This classic veggie spinach dip using Knorr Seasonings is made even better with a few fresh ingredients that add so much kick.
Who doesn’t love Veggie Spinach Dip?!
My updated version of the classic “Vegetable soup mix dip” adds a punch of flavor by adding 2 heaping teaspoons of fresh horseradish and three spices including a dash of heat from cayenne pepper. I also use fresh green onions, mayonnaise, sour cream and greek yogurt for an extra creamy and super tangy dip. Give my version a try and you will never eat that same old tired spinach dip again.

Commonly Asked Questions:
YES! This dip is actually better if made about 8 hours in advance. Keep it covered in the fridge in an airtight container. If it gets watery, add in a bit more mayo or try and drain off any liquid.
Plain yogurt has too much liquid and will make for a soggy dip. Greek yogurt that is super thick is best. You can omit the yogurt and just use mayo and sour cream, but the tang from yogurt adds a ton of flavor and protein. You can drain off the water form the yogurt by straining it overnight in a fine sieve lined with cheesecloth- although, it’s probably easier just to buy Greek yogurt
Did you drain the spinach really well.?That is typically the “liquid” issue. Did you measure your mayo, Greek yogurt and sour cream correctly? Did you use plain yogurt instead of Greek yogurt? Greek yogurt is much thicker and contains less water.
Look for it in the refrigerator section of your produce department or in the seafood case? It will be in a jar. Shelf stable horseradish does not have that “heat” that you want.
This is a very Dairy-centric recipe. I think you might love my roasted salsa verde- it’s completely dairy-free.

Ingredients
2-10 oz bags frozen spinach, thawed & drained
1 envelope Knorr, Vegetable Recipe Mix- found on the soup aisle
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
1 cup plain full fat Greek yogurt
2 TBSP (heaping) fresh horseradish
1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
8 oz can water chestnuts, drained & chopped fine
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper or more to taste
1/2 tsp kosher salt
dash smoked paprika
tortilla chips, for serving
Directions
- Squeeze all of the water from the spinach through a fine mesh sieve. Set spinach into a large mixing bowl. “Fluff” the spinach with a fork.
Add in the Knorr seasonings, green onions, horseradish, water chestnuts and remaining ingredients through salt. - Stir everything well until completely incorporated. Cover and chill for 2 hours or up to overnight.
- Sprinkle with a few dashes of smoked paprika and garnish with flat leaf parsley or green onion tips. Serve with tortilla chips.
- Store any leftover dip, covered, in the fridge up to 3 days. The dairy products will begin to breakdown so stir to re-incorporate before serving.
Notes
- It is very important to remove as much moisture from the frozen spinach as possible.
