WATER CHESTNUT DIP
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

My mom used to make this dip in the 80’s, too. I haven’t had it since then. The memories this recipe brings back make me smile, and tear up a bit (for those no longer living). Good, happy times with my family. ❤️
I will be making this tomorrow. My mom served the dip with sourdough for dipping. Thank you for sharing this with us.
I am so glad you found this recipe and it brought back such great memories. It’s one of those recipes that does the same thing for us. Enjoy the dip!
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!
