I had to add a can of water chestnuts but followed exactly otherwise. We felt some green onions would have been good to and will try that next time. Superb!! Love this alternative to the sodium heavy soup mix version. Thanks Kim, Good recipe. -
I have made this recipe for eons, but make it double for a croud! Only 1 pkg of Knorr Veg soup mix, 1 small jar of lo-fat mayo, a medium + a small container of lo-fat sour cream, 2 pkgs chopped spinach, 2-4 cloves of crushed garlic and 3 chopped green onions. Everyone goes crazy over it and wonders what the "secret" ingredient is! (garlic, I presume?) It MUST be refrigerated and stirred a few times for 24 hours before serving to let the flavours blend! I serve it in a hollowed-out sourdough bread round with the insides cut into cubes and then another loaf cut into cubes as well. There never seems to be enough! -
This is the recipe I have been looking for. I did mince the onions in my food processor, becuz I don't like my spinach dip crunchy. My mom always served this in a bread bowl with plenty of dipping bread. Brings back memories. When you grew up eating this spinach dip the other recipes that use soup mixes just do not add up. Thank you so much for posting. -
Very nice recipe. Mild flavor. I too added some water chestnuts, just because I had some in the fridge. Thanks Kim!

<p><br /><br />The picture is of me and my husband at the Grand Canyon - November 2008. <br /><br />I've just started a food blog and would love for those interested in cooking and recipes to check it out. You can follow my food journey at <a href=http://onecookbookatathyme.wordpress.com/>http://onecookbookatathyme.wordpress.com/</a></p>
<p>Cooking for family and friends is one of my favorite things to do. I spend most of my free time in the kitchen, either checking out Recipezaar or experimenting with a newly found recipe. <br /><br />My DH and I are both from Texas and we both come from Italian families. Anyone who stops by my house should be prepared to eat!!! I'm always forcing friends and family to try whatever it is that just came out of the oven. I know that is a horrible habit but I can't break it... I think it must be the Italian in me! LOL :) <br /><br />My sister (<a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/browse/getchef.zsp?id=85654>Cookin_Kit</a>) and I used to help my Mom (<a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/browse/getchef.zsp?id=124343>JudaThann</a>) in the kitchen a lot growing up. I guess that is where my love for cooking began. I also enjoy sharing the kitchen with my DH (<a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/browse/getchef.zsp?id=202688>Sgt. Pepper</a>). He doesn't cook as often as he did when we first got married, but he makes an awesome pizza and still makes them at least twice a month. He keeps his recipes for the dough and the sauce top secret, even from me. LOL <br /><br />I have two step-children. The oldest graduated from college and the youngest is a sophomore at Texas Tech. I also have two cats and a dog. When I?m not cooking or hanging out here at Zaar, I like to knit, garden, read, watch old movies, travel, take photos, scrapbook, volunteer at a non-kill animal shelter, and spend time with my family and friends. <br /><br /><img src=http://images.snapfish.com/34359%3C8323232%7Ffp47%3Dot%3E232%3A%3D8%3A3%3D429%3DXROQDF%3E23237%3C2733%3B9%3Bot1lsi alt= /> <br /><br />I'm a co-host with <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/browse/getchef.zsp?id=21399>Karen From Colorado</a> in the <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewforum?f=37>Mexican/Tex-Mex/Southern United States Cooking Forum</a>.
