Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

8 ounces frozen spinach, cooked and well drained
16 ounces sour cream
1 cup mayonnaise
1.8 ounce packet Knorr Vegetable Mix
8 ounces water chestnuts, drained and chopped (optional)
2 to 4 green onions, sliced thin
Pinch of salt and pepper

For Serving

Sourdough or bread bowl (optional)

Instructions

Cook and drain spinach: Cook 8 ounces of frozen spinach on the stove according to package directions. Once cooked, allow it to cool and then squeeze out as much moisture as possible using a cheesecloth or paper towel to prevent the dip from becoming watery.
Combine and chill: In a medium bowl, mix together 16 ounces of sour cream, 1 cup of mayonnaise, the entire 1.8-ounce packet of Knorr Vegetable Mix, 8 ounces of chopped water chestnuts, 2 to 4 sliced green onions, and the well-drained cooked spinach until smooth. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour, preferably up to overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
Hollow out bread: When ready to serve, prepare the bread bowl by cutting a large circle along the top of the loaf and carefully hollowing out the inside to create a bowl-like container for the dip.
Add sliced bread to platter for dipping: Slice the removed bread from the center into bite-sized pieces that guests can use to scoop up the dip.
Place dip in bread bowl: Transfer the chilled spinach dip into the hollowed-out bread bowl and place it on the serving platter alongside the bread slices for dipping. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

Ensure the spinach is well drained to avoid excess moisture in the dip, which can make it watery.
The water chestnuts add a pleasant crunch but can be omitted if desired.
You can prepare the dip up to one day in advance — flavors improve after resting in the refrigerator.
This dip is best served chilled and within a few hours of assembling in the bread bowl.
If you want to keep it low calorie or reduce fat, consider substituting light sour cream and mayonnaise.
