There’s something special about a recipe that never leaves the table untouched. This Knorr vegetable dip has been a go-to in our family for years. It’s creamy, flavorful, and ridiculously easy to pull together. I’ve brought it to church potlucks, served it for game nights, and even doubled it for baby showers. It always disappears.
What I love most is how simple it is. You only need a few pantry staples, and no cooking is required; just stir, chill, and serve. It’s the kind of dip recipe that lets you focus on your guests, not the kitchen.
Knorr Vegetable Dip Recipe
Creamy, savory, and full of texture, this veggie dip is always a hit at get-togethers. It stirs together in no time with simple ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen, plus a packet of Knorr Vegetable Soup Mix. It’s just the kind of easy recipe that saves the day when company’s coming. I like to make it the night before so the flavors have time to settle in. You can dress it up with a little shredded cheese, fresh herbs, or swap in Greek yogurt if you’re keeping things a bit lighter.
Ingredients Needed To Make This Recipe
Here’s a quick overview of the key ingredients for this recipe. For the full list of ingredients and exact measurements, be sure to check the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
- Frozen chopped spinach: A steamer bag works best; just microwave and squeeze out excess moisture.
- Water chestnuts: These add the best crunch. Chop them finely so they blend well.
- Sour cream: Use full-fat for the richest flavor, or swap half for Greek yogurt to lighten it up.
- Mayonnaise: I like Duke’s or Hellmann’s. Use avocado mayo for a dairy-free option.
- Knorr Vegetable Recipe Mix: This is the star. Find it in the soup mix aisle or order online.
- Green onions: Finely chop the white and green parts. Reserve a tablespoon for garnish.
Yes! You’ll need about 6 cups of fresh spinach. Sauté it down, cool completely, and squeeze out as much water as possible.
How To Make Knorr Vegetable Dip
Steam and Prep Spinach
I like to use a steamer bag, just microwave it according to the package directions. Let it cool slightly, then wrap it in a few layers of paper towel and press firmly to remove as much water as possible. This helps keep the dip from getting watery.
Chop Your Water Chestnuts
Drain the can and finely chop them. They’ll add that subtle crunch that makes this dip irresistible.

In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, Knorr vegetable mix, chopped green onions (reserve a little for garnish), spinach, and water chestnuts. Stir well until it’s fully blended.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. If I’m prepping ahead for a party, I make it the night before; the flavors deepen beautifully overnight.
Variations, Substitutions, and Recipe Tips
Dairy-Free Option: Use dairy-free sour cream and mayo (like Follow Your Heart or Kite Hill brands).
Add Cheese: Stir in ½ cup of shredded cheddar or parmesan for extra flavor.
Use Fresh Spinach: Sauté about 6 cups of fresh spinach, let it cool, then squeeze out the liquid.
Add Herbs: Fresh chives, dill, or parsley work great here.
Make It a Bread Bowl: Hollow out a round loaf of sourdough and serve the dip inside; it’s always a hit!
