In yesterday’s “Super Bowl party prep made easier” post I referred to two game day appetizers, a southwestern vegetable dip and the always popular spinach dip. I’m going to share both recipes this week and first up is my favorite: the classic Knorr spinach dip.

Yes, I said Knorr and yes, it’s off the back of the package.

I have loved this spinach dip recipe for years and not just because it’s one of the easiest dips to make. Every time I bring this spinach dip to a party, people absolutely love it.  When I tell them it’s from the back of the Knorr Vegetable recipe mix, they kind of can’t believe it.

I think the rave reviews of this recipe are the result of a few minor adjustments, all of which are optional of course.

Optional only if you want your spinach dip to taste like everyone else’s spinach dip.

I highly recommend serving it in a sourdough bread bowl. This time I used a square bowl and loved how it turned out!

Printable recipe for my tweaked version of the classic Knorr spinach dip. Enjoy!

    I have been making a dip like this for years and it’s always a huge hit. This year I decided to put a Halloween spin on it: http://sweetseatstreats.wordpress.com/2014/11/09/classic-creamy-spinach-dip/

    Do you cook your spinach first? I use the round Hawaiian Bread

      Nope! It’s frozen chopped spinach, so I simply defrost it and drain it a bit.
