Spinach Dip

Submitted by Kathy Strickland

"This recipe came from our cookbook at the beauty shop where I work. We had many pot lucks, and every one wanted this and that recipe, so we all gave recipes and had our own book printed and sold them in the salon."

 

• Ready In: 10mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Yields: 3-4 Cups

ingredients

• 1 (10 ounce) package frozen spinach, thawed and drained
• 1 cup sour cream

• 1 (1 ounce) package Knorr vegetable soup mix (or onion soup mix)
• 1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and chopped (optional)
• 1⁄2 chopped onion

directions

1. Thaw and drain the spinach.
2. Squeeze the spinach with paper towels to remove excess water.

One of the best dips ever, also good used as a spread for party sandwiches.

Very good and easy, too! I used fresh spinach, skipped the water chestnuts and onions, and added in crumbled bacon. I served it with pumpernickel bread cubes. Also, to AVOID MSG, I purchased McCormick vegetable dip mix rather than the Knorr's.

This is a staple for any party or family treat. I've added 1/2 c. of bacon bits (breakfast leftovers), and 2 tbsp of freeze dried chives to make my own version. Enjoy!

Very yummy!!! I added a bit more sour cream maybe more like 1 1/2 cups total and I added 3 green onions instead of regular onion...definitely will make it again...very good. One occasion I add crab meat to my spinach dip for another alternative.
