Step 1: Prepare the Spinach - If you're using fresh baby spinach, wash it thoroughly and chop it into smaller pieces. If you're using frozen spinach, make sure it's thawed completely and squeeze out any excess water.
Step 2: Mix the Base - In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream and mayonnaise. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 3: Add the Flavor - Sprinkle in the packet of Lipton or Knorr's Vegetable Recipe Mix. Mix well to incorporate the seasoning throughout the creamy base.
Step 4: Combine the Ingredients - Add the chopped spinach, water chestnuts, and green onions (if using) to the bowl. Gently fold the ingredients together until everything is evenly distributed.
Step 5: Chill and Serve - Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the spinach dip for at least an hour before serving.

Notes
Make sure to squeeze out excess moisture from the spinach to prevent a watery dip.
This dip can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
For a vegan version, use plant-based alternatives for sour cream and mayonnaise.
