How to Make Knorr Vegetable Spinach Dip

Step 1: Gather Ingredients

Step 2: Prepare the Spinach

If using fresh spinach, wash and chop it into small pieces. This ensures even distribution in the dip and enhances texture.

Add the chopped spinach, water chestnuts, and green onions to the mixture. Gently fold them in to maintain the texture while ensuring every bite is flavorful.

Step 6: Chill the Dip

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Chilling allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
