Don't Be a Dip

Another childhood favorite I fondly remember present at family gatherings, spinach dip served in a Hawaiian bread bowl. Yum, I can smell the garlicy, herby, creamy goodness and taste the sweet, fluff of the bread. There was just something about those little chewy bits of dehydrated veggies from the Knorr soup mix that made it special in an odd sort of way. I guess this is one way to get your kids to eat their veggies! Add enough mayo and sour cream to anything and even spinach becomes delectable to a 5 year old.



Spinach Dip

1 c. mayonnaise
1 c. sour cream
1/2 c. chopped onion
1 8oz. can water chestnuts (chopped)
1 pkg. Knorr dried vegetable soup mix
1 pkg. frozen chopped spinach (thawed and drained)

Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Tear out the center of a round Hawaiian or rye bread. Scoop dip into the center of the bowl and served with the remaining diced center of the bread.

This recipe works well with the Hellman's olive oil based mayo and greek yogurt in place of sour cream for a lighter option.
