WATER CHESTNUT DIP

Water Chestnut Dip The Southern Lady Cooks

Water Chestnut Dip has been in our family for quite some time.  Mom has been making this recipe since the eighties.  She submitted it to Southern Living, and it is printed in their 1986 Annual Recipes Cookbook. Our entire family loves this dip. We’ve made it for several gatherings, and someone always asks for the recipe.  You can double the recipe for a large group.  It keeps well in the refrigerator for several days and is wonderful with crackers, chips, vegetables, or just about anything you like with a dip.  I promise it will become a family favorite.

Ingredients Needed for Water Chestnut Dip:

Can of sliced, drained water chestnuts, diced

Sour cream

Mayonnaise

Dried parsley flakes

Onion chopped

Soy sauce

Garlic clove minced

Ground ginger

Recipe Notes: We enjoy this dip with Wheat Thins but feel free to use any crackers or chips that you’re family enjoys. It’s also great with carrot sticks or celery. This recipe can easily be doubled or even tripled for a large group.

    I’m assuming you chop the water chestnuts too? Sounds delicious! Can’t wait to try it.

      Hi Penni! Yes, the water chestnuts should be chopped or diced up. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I’ve updated the recipe. We hope you enjoy it!
