Since I’ve always made spinach dip using the Knorr Recipe I decided to up my game and make a delicious bacon, garlic spinach dip!
How to make Knorr Spinach Dip?
- Cook up your bacon, let cool then crumble
- Sauté chopped garlic and shallot in the leftover bacon grease
- Cook the spinach and drain
- Chop the water chestnuts
- Mix together the vegetable mix, mayo, and sour cream
- Mix in bacon, garlic, shallot, spinach, water chestnuts

Let's Talk Spinach
Frozen: Cook frozen spinach according to package instructions. Allow to cool enough to handle, then squeeze out excess liquid.
It's important to cook frozen spinach to destroy any bacteria.
Fresh: Wash spinach in cold water, then sauté in a large frying pan over low heat with a little salted. Cook until wilted, then allow to cool and squeeze out excess liquid.
What should I use to dip in the Knorr spinach dip recipe?
I love dipping homemade bread or rolls, crackers, or toasted baguettes. Alternatively, chopped veggies like carrots, broccoli, bell peppers, and cucumbers are delicious too!
How do I toast baguette slices?
To toast baguette slices simply slice the baguette into pieces and place on a baking sheet in a single layer. Broil on high for 3-5 minutes- but keep your eye on them! They can go from perfectly toasted to burned in no time.

How should I store leftover dip?
Leftover spinach dip should be stored in an airtight container or with plastic wrap over it in the refrigerator.
How long does homemade spinach dip last?
Eat dip within 4 days (which won’t be hard because it’s so good!).
