This Spinach Dip Recipe is super easy to make and is SO GOOD! This cold spinach dip recipe, made with sour cream is so much better than the store bought packet!
It is perfect served with my three ingredient beer bread or in my beer bread dip bowl!
It is possible I was born in the wrong country, because my preferred way of eating is appetizers. I love small plate restaurants, and I love hosting parties where there are tons of dips and snacks. One dip that always makes the cut is this super easy spinach dip! It tastes just like Knorr Spinach Dip, but is so easy to make at home.

This simple and easy spinach dip has just a few ingredients and most of them can be kept on hand so you can make this dip last minute when company pops by.
- mayonnaise
- sour cream
- water chestnuts
- spices
- worchesterchire sauce
- green onions

CAN YOU USE FRESH SPINACH?
So, I know I’m going too eventually get this question. My answer is: Please don’t. Hahaha!
Yes, you can for sure use fresh spinach and just chop it and saute it down. But it is much more cost and time effective to buy frozen spinach.
I CAN’T FIND FROZEN SPINACH IN A 16 OZ CONTAINER
Then use two 10 ounce containers! You will have more spinach, but this recipe is so forgiving that it will still be perfect.
HOW TO MAKE SPINACH DIP
This recipe is so perfect for last minute because you just throw all of the ingredients into a bowl and stir to combine! The longest part of this recipe is the thawing of the spinach.

- My Beer Bread cut up

SPECIAL DIETARY NEEDS

HOW LONG DOES SPINACH DIP LAST?
In the refrigerator this should last about 1 week. I have had people ask me if they can freeze this spinach dip recipe and I will tell you that I personally would not. I don’t love freezing recipes that consist a lot of dairy (the sour cream). My vote is that you make a half batch if you don’t think the whole batch will be eaten.

Never look down on yourself when you get bad or rude comments from people. As an “older” lady I’ve seen a lot over the years and people are just not as gracious as they used to be. So many use social media as a place to vent. Just be positive, kind to those who aren’t and know all of us love your blog and especially the recipes you share.
Lisa Longley says
Thank you Kathy!! You are totally right. And yes, dead on about social media!
