Classic Knorr Spinach Dip (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ For the Dip

01 - 1.4 oz packet Knorr dry vegetable recipe mix
02 - 1 cup mayonnaise
03 - 16 oz sour cream (2 cups)
04 - 10 oz frozen spinach, thawed and very well drained

→ For Serving

05 - 1 large round rye or sourdough bread loaf
06 - Wheat Thins or crackers

# Instructions:

01 - In a medium bowl, combine the thawed and very well-drained spinach, Knorr vegetable recipe mix, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Stir everything together until it's completely mixed and smooth.
02 - Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a lid. Put it in the fridge for at least 2 hours, but overnight is even better. This gives the dry soup mix time to bloom and all the flavors to blend together.
03 - Cut the top off your bread loaf and scoop out the inside, leaving about an inch of bread around the edges to hold the dip. Break the scooped-out bread into bite-sized pieces about an inch big for dipping.
04 - Give the chilled spinach dip one last good stir, then spoon it into the hollowed-out bread bowl. Serve with the bread pieces you tore up and crackers on the side. Dig in and enjoy.

# Notes:

01 - Really squeeze out all the water from the spinach or your dip will be watery. Use a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to wring it dry.
02 - The longer this chills, the better it tastes - overnight is ideal for the best flavor.
03 - This is the classic party dip everyone loves from the 80s and 90s - it never goes out of style.
04 - A round sourdough or rye bread makes the best bread bowl, but pumpernickel works too.
05 - The dip keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days covered, so you can make it ahead for parties.
06 - Serve with veggies like carrots, celery, and bell pepper strips in addition to bread and crackers.
