Creamy Spinach Dip with Water Chestnuts image

Classic creamy spinach dip with a water chestnut crunch, minus the veggie soup mix. Easy, super full of flavor, and with dairy-free and vegan options.

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise (for vegan version use vegan mayo)
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt + more to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper + more to taste
1 10-ounce bag frozen spinach, thawed and liquid squeezed out*
1 4-ounce can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
1 bunch scallions (green onions, chopped [discard top 1/3 of green ends]; save a few for garnish)
1 medium loaf sourdough boule
1/2 sourdough baguette (sliced)

Steps:

  • To a medium bowl, add the sour cream, mayonnaise, onion powder, garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Mix well to combine.
  • Squeeze the liquid out of the spinach and add to the bowl along with the water chestnuts and scallions. Mix well to combine. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired.
  • To allow the flavors to develop, place dip in a lidded container and refrigerate for at least one hour, or up to 24 hours.
  • When ready to serve, prepare the sourdough bowl. Use a serrated knife to slice off the top of the sourdough round, leaving enough of the bread to make a "bowl." Use your hands to pull out the soft center of the bread, leaving the crusty outside. Arrange on a platter along with sourdough baguette slices. Scoop dip into the sourdough "bowl" and use the reserved scallions for garnish. Serve!

COLD SPINACH DIP



Cold Spinach Dip image

This is one of the first recipes I ever created, so it's only appropriate that it should be the first one I post! It's a great cold treat, and very easy to make! Most other recipes I've seen call for mayo or Miracle Whip instead of the cream cheese. I'm not a big fan of "heart-healthy" recipes, but this could easily be made with low/no-fat sour cream and cream cheese. The water chestnuts are optional, but I think it adds to the texture!

Provided by katindallas

Categories     Cheese

Time 4h

Yield 2 cups, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
1 small onion, chopped (optional)
0.5 (6 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and chopped (optional)
0.5 (1 ounce) packet dip mix (I used Knorr's, but can't find it anymore, so I use the Lipton Garlic & Herb now)

Steps:

  • If using onions, I lightly saute them in a little butter or olive oil to soften.
  • Mix soup/dip mix into softened cream cheese and then add sour cream. (Make sure the cream cheese is very soft, otherwise you will have lumps.).
  • Add onion, water chestnuts and spinach and mix together thoroughly.
  • Refrigerate at least 4 hours. (If you can make this a day or so in advance, the flavors will have time to set well!).
  • Prep time includes refrigeration and servings are a guess!
  • I serve it with my favorite crackers (Triscuits) or toasted bread slices.
