    🌟 Easy spinach dip

    Spinach dip is a true party food classic. You know when you bring spinach dip to a party, it will always be eaten.

    dairy-free spinach dip

    The first time I made spinach dip was right after college. I couldn't believe how EASY it was! And, I love that this is a make-ahead party appetizer.

    I've made spinach dip SO many times now, and in so many different ways over the years. But this recipe is ALWAYS the crowd fave.

    🥬 Ingredient notes

    This recipe is dairy-free, but if you don't have to worry about dairy, you could easily substitute full dairy items.

    ingredients for dairy-free spinach dip

    My fave dairy-free spinach dip recipe includes:

    • frozen spinach (of course!)
    • dairy-free sour cream
    • dairy-free vegan mayo
    • water chestnuts
    • packet of Knorr vegetable dip mix
    • garlic
    • chives
    • salt and pepper

    That's it! The use of Knorr vegetable dip mix is a switch from the leek soup packet I used to always use. I haven't been able to find the leek soup mix anywhere locally, although you can still buy it online.

    However, since switching, I've discovered that I love the added textures and depth of flavor that the vegetable dip mix adds to this easy spinach dip!

    🍽 What goes well with spinach dip?

    🥣 Recipe FAQs

    How long does spinach dip last in the refrigerator?

    Keep any leftover spinach dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.

    Can I make this dip ahead of time?

    You can make this spinach dip up to two days before a party. However, I prefer to make it the night before a party for more freshness.

    This easy spinach dip recipe is a dairy-free crowd favorite! It can be made a day or two ahead of time.

    Calories: 485kcal
    PRINT PIN RATE

    Ingredients

    • 16 ounces (one 16 oz container) dairy-free sour cream
    • 1 cup dairy-free mayonnaise
    • 1 box (10 oz) frozen spinach
    • 1 packet Knorr vegetable dip mix
    • 2 tablespoons chopped water chestnuts
    • 1 teaspoons chopped green onion or chives
    • 1 round bread loaf

    Instructions

    • Using a serrated knife, cut a top portion of the bread loaf out to create a bowl to hold the spinach dip. Cut the bread top into chunks for serving. Set aside.
    • Add all ingredients to a large bowl and mix well, until all of the powdered vegetable dip is fully blended. Spoon dip into hollowed out bread bowl.
    • Keep refrigerated until ready to serve. Can be made ahead up to overnight.
    • Serve cut up bread along with the dip.

    Notes

    Storage tip: If your spinach dip is still warm, let it cool down before storing in a container in the fridge. This can help prevent condensation forming inside the container which can make the dip soggy.
    Make ahead tip: You can make this up to two days ahead of time, but it's best if you make it within 24 hours of serving.

        I'd have never thought to use water chestnuts in a dip like this but that sound like it gives some brilliant texture. Love to try this!
