This Easy Spinach Dip is a crowd pleaser at any gathering. It’s delightfully creamy and a breeze to whip up. Serve with bread chunks or crackers for a delicious appetizer.
This creamy, savory and EASY Spinach Dip is a centerpiece at nearly all of our family gatherings. We love making this as an appetizer on Thanksgiving, but it finds a place at our Christmas Eve and Super Bowl parties, 4th of July picnics and potlucks. It’s light, flavorful and so simple to make!
What Are the Ingredients for Spinach Dip?
This divine dip comes together in just FIVE ingredients! Here’s what you’ll need:
- A box of frozen spinach
- Knorr vegetable soup mix
- Sour Cream
- Mayonaise
- Water chestnuts (We just love the crunch of these! They add a unique texture that most spinach dips don’t have. You’ll love them!)
How Long Will Homemade Spinach Dip Last?
Any leftover dip will store nicely in the refrigerator for up to four days. It’s not recommended that you freeze this dip, since mayo and sour cream don’t generally freeze well and can become watery or grainy after thawing. But we’re pretty sure if you set a bowl of this creamy goodness out at a party, there won’t be much left when the crowd thins.
Should Spinach Dip Be Heated?
Because this recipe calls for sour cream and mayo, it is best served cold. However, we have an absolutely amazing Hot Spinach Artichoke Dip you must try! We also love using fresh spinach in this scrumptious Fresh Spinach Dip.
How Do You Serve Spinach Dip?
You can serve this easy Spinach Dip recipe with so many yummy things! Feel free to use your imagination, but here are a few of our favorites:
- French bread chunks
- Sourdough baguettes
- Carrot sticks
- Ritz crackers
- Potato or corn chips
- Celery
- Green or red peppers

Love a good spinach dip and this one sounds super tasty and oh so easy too!
Sounds awesome! Can I use something else instead of veggie soup? Onion soup mix f ex? Thanks
One of the best dips to make, if you ask me 🙂 I really like that you can use both fresh and/or frozen spinach for it. It makes this recipe so versatile.
I want to dip alllllll the things! This spinach dip is already on our Thanksgiving appetizer menu! Thanks so much for sharing!
This looks like a great recipe for the holidays! Saving this one!
Would I be able to add chopped artichokes to it? Thanks.😁
Yes, of course! That would be a delicious addition!
I always add a couple tablespoons of prepared horseradshhorseradsh when I make this dip. Adds a tasty zip.
Why not use fresh spinach?
You totally can! I have done it with fresh and frozen.
