Spinach Dip FAQs
Can you make this Knorr spinach dip recipe with cream cheese?
Absolutely, cream cheese is a classic choice when it comes to cold spinach dip. I opted for a combination of sour cream and mayonnaise for a slightly lighter dip. You can also make it with cream cheese for a richer and thicker result.
Can you freeze Knorr spinach dip?
Yes, spinach dip can be frozen for up to 2 months or so. Be sure to store it properly in an airtight container to prevent drying out or freezer burn. To serve again, I recommend allowing the dip to thaw in the fridge, overnight if possible.
How long does uncooked spinach dip last?
If you store your dip in the fridge properly, it will last 3-4 days.
How to drain spinach?
To drain the water out of the spinach, you can do so in a strainer, pushing the spinach down to release the water, blot it with paper towels, or strain it by hand.
Popular Variations and Substitutions
- This dip can also be made with fresh spinach (baby spinach is always a good choice). You’ll want to cook and drain the spinach before using it, as frozen spinach comes pre-cooked and pre-chopped.
- For a bit of extra flavor and visual interest, top your spinach dip with finely chopped green onions.
- The classic Knorr recipe for spinach dip also calls for chopped and drained water chestnuts. These add a nice amount of subtle veggie crunch and some additional nutrition.
- Serve your spinach dip in a bread bowl for the ultimate appetizer! The bowl itself can be ripped and used as a dipper for your spinach dip. Great for sharing with a group of friends for any occasion.
- Another ingredient that yields a creamy and slightly tangy flavor is Greek yogurt, which is high in protein and calcium.
- Use other varieties of cheese like cheddar, pepper jack, or Swiss to switch up the flavor profile of your dip.
