This creamy, cold dip comes together fast and delivers big flavor from an easy mix-in of dry vegetable soup mix, garlic powder, and onion powder. Well-drained spinach is the key step here — squeezing out every bit of moisture keeps the texture thick and scoopable instead of watery, while water chestnuts add a satisfying crunch in every bite. Sliced scallions bring a fresh, sharp bite that balances the richness, and a chill in the fridge lets all those flavors meld into something deeply savory. Serve it in a hollowed-out loaf or alongside crackers and crisp vegetables for an easy make-ahead appetizer that's always a crowd favorite. It's a great pick for a lactose free spread, since the dip's flavor leans on pantry seasonings and fresh produce rather than any one dominant note. Simple, cold, and endlessly dippable — this one's a keeper for parties, potlucks, or a lazy night of snacking.

Place the thawed spinach in a fine-mesh strainer or the center of a clean kitchen towel and squeeze firmly until as much liquid as possible is removed — the spinach should feel nearly dry and clump together. This step is critical; excess moisture will make the dip watery.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the sour cream, mayonnaise, dry vegetable soup mix, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until evenly combined.
