- 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.
