Ingredients for easy vegetable dip

• Mayonnaise – acts as the creamy base and helps bind everything together. Use full-fat for the richest flavor, or light mayo for a lower-calorie option.
• Sour cream – adds a mild tang that balances the savory Knorr mix. Plain Greek yogurt works as a lighter substitute.
• Knorr vegetable soup mix (1 packet, 1.4 oz) – the signature ingredient that gives this dip its bold, savory, herb-forward flavor. Gently crush the packet before opening to break up any clumps.
• Dry guacamole seasoning mix (½ packet, about 2 tablespoons) – this is what sets this recipe apart from the classic version. It adds a subtle herb and citrus depth that makes the dip feel fresh and unique.

Want the Classic Version?

To make the traditional Knorr spinach dip, swap the guacamole seasoning for one 10 oz package of frozen chopped spinach (thawed and squeezed completely dry) and one 8 oz can of water chestnuts (drained and finely chopped). The water chestnuts add a satisfying crunch, and squeezing every bit of moisture from the spinach is the key to keeping the dip thick and creamy.

How to make this creamy dip

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and sour cream until smooth
2. Gently crush the vegetable mix and add to bowl
3. Add guacamole mix and stir until well combined
4. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour before serving
5. Serve with cut vegetables, bread or crackers
6. Store leftovers in refrigerator

FAQs

Can I make this dip ahead of time? Yes you can and you should. This dip actually tastes better after it has had time to rest. Make it at least 2 hours before serving, or ideally the night before, to allow the flavors to fully meld into the creamy base. Store it covered in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

What should I serve with this dip? Fresh vegetables are the classic pairing such as carrot sticks, broccoli florets, cucumber slices, celery, and bell peppers. Pita chips, tortilla chips, and crackers all work great too.

Can I use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream? Yes! Plain Greek yogurt is a great 1:1 substitute for sour cream and makes the dip a bit lighter without sacrificing creaminess. Just make sure to use plain, unflavored yogurt so it doesn’t change the flavor profile.

Can I add spinach to this version? Absolutely. If you’d like to add spinach, thaw a 10 oz package of frozen chopped spinach and squeeze out as much moisture as possible before mixing it in.

How do I store leftover dip? Transfer any leftovers to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Give it a quick stir before serving again, as the ingredients may separate slightly.

Can this dip be frozen? Freezing is not recommended. The mayonnaise and sour cream base tends to separate when frozen and thawed, resulting in a watery, grainy texture. This dip is best made fresh or up to a day ahead.
