The Secret to Great Knorr Spinach Dip

Here are some of the ways you can change up the classic recipe for this 5-ingredient incredible Knorr spinach dip to give it a little more flavor.

Extra flavor — Fresh herbs

Feel free to include a sprinkle of fresh herbs as well, for added freshness. Add parsley, dill or basil in your dip. Fresh parsley sprinkled over the top of the dip can help to liven up its flavor palette, and also makes it seem even fresher.

Use Greek Yogurt for Sour Cream

Prefer a lighter iteration of this dip, sub in Greek yogurt for sour cream instead. This will provide you with the same creamy feeling but now also give your protein and less caloreis.

Make It Spicy

Something to take it over the top? Sprinkle with hot sauce, crushed red pepper flakes or perhaps some finely chopped jalapeños. Hey just do not dominate other flavors!

Try Dipping in Other Things

This dip is traditionally a great appetizer that you serve with chips, crackers or veggie sticks but why settle for less? Cut slices of baguette, have on pita chips or toast up some bread rounds for a different option to serve it with.

Make a Big Batch

Planning a larger party? No problem! You can easily double or triple the recipe to have some for later! Just be sure to give it plenty of time to chill before serving.

Elegant Serving Knorr Spinach Dip

Why it works: When serving a group of people, presentation is important. A little trick and a few easy tweaks that turn even the simplest dip like this one into an impressive looking offering. Here are a few fun ways to present your Knorr spinach dip with style:

Bread Bowl Presentation

Like I mentioned before, serving this dip in a hollowed-out sourdough bread loaf is the original way to enjoy it. It looks great and best of all leaves a bit more taste as the bread absorbs some dip.

Vegetable Platter

Or, for a healthier version set platter with large bell pepper wedges and other fresh veggies like baby carrots, cucumber or celery sticks surrounding the dip. Not only will your dip be lighter, but it will have a more vibrant presence on the table.

Mini Cups

For the to-go version, consider separating it into mini cups or shot glasses if serving at a big event. A serving spoon enables guests to scoop and leave without any risk of double-dipping.
