A slight tweak to the classic Knorr spinach dip recipe and you have one of my most-requested game day and holiday appetizers!
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!

Do you cook your spinach first? I use the round Hawaiian Bread
Emily Hill
Nope! It’s frozen chopped spinach, so I simply defrost it and drain it a bit.
