Method
Prepare the Creamy Base
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the Knorr soup mix, sour cream, and mayonnaise until they are well blended and smooth.
- Now, add the softened cream cheese, fresh lemon zest, and fresh lemon juice. Mix everything thoroughly until the dip is smooth and wonderfully creamy.
- Optionally, stir in a tiny drop of green food coloring for an extra vibrant green color for St. Patrick's Day.
Fold in the Freshness
- Next, gently stir in your thawed and squeezed dry spinach, finely chopped water chestnuts, and chopped green onions.
Spread the Love
- Lay out one of your 12-inch flour tortillas on a clean surface. Spread an even layer of the green spinach dip across the tortilla, leaving about a half-inch border around the edges.
Roll 'Em Up Tight
- Starting from one edge, roll the tortilla up tightly, creating a compact log without tearing the tortilla.
Chill for Perfection
- Once rolled, wrap each tortilla log tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate them for a minimum of 2 hours, or for the absolute best results, chill them overnight.
Slice with Precision
- When you’re ready to serve, unwrap the chilled tortilla logs. Using a sharp serrated knife, or even an electric knife for ultimate precision, slice each log into 1-inch pieces with a gentle sawing motion.
Arrange & Serve
- Arrange your beautiful Green Spinach Dip Pinwheels on a festive serving platter. Keep them refrigerated until you are ready to serve to maintain their firm, fresh texture.

Notes
For best results, thoroughly squeeze all moisture from thawed spinach. Ensure water chestnuts are finely chopped to prevent tearing tortillas. Chilling rolled logs overnight is crucial for clean, firm slices. An electric knife can provide perfectly even cuts. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the refrigerator. Freezing assembled pinwheels is not recommended. Nutrition information is estimated based on common ingredients and serving sizes and may vary.
