- 1 16-oz container sour cream 454 g
- 1 cup mayonnaise about 232 g
- 1 1.4-oz packet Knorr Vegetable Recipe Mix 40 g; check allergens and current label
- 1 8-oz can water chestnuts drained and finely chopped; about 142 g drained
- 3 green onions about 45 g, thinly sliced
Equipment
- Saucepan or microwave-safe bowl
- Colander and clean towel
- Mixing bowl and spoon
- Knife and cutting board
Instructions
Prepare and chill
- Cook frozen chopped spinach according to its package directions, using a saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Drain in a colander and allow to cool until safe to handle, about 10 minutes.
- Gather the cooled spinach in a clean towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Loosen the compact spinach and chop any long pieces. Wet spinach will thin the dip.
- Stir sour cream, mayonnaise and vegetable recipe mix in the bowl. Fold in squeezed spinach, chopped water chestnuts and green onions until evenly distributed.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to soften the seasoning vegetables and develop flavor. Stir again, then serve cold with optional vegetable sticks or bread. Yield is about 4 cups, divided into sixteen roughly ¼-cup portions.
