- 1 fresh round loaf of bread from the bakery of your local supermarket, or your favorite stand alone bakery. Cut the top off (chop it for dippers) and hollow out the center - easy peasy! You can even bake a fresh loaf yourself (ummmm bake me one too?!) and use it for this recipe.

Cup of Yum
Notes
- I've made this dip a few times now and I have to admit that it's not a whisk-together-and-faceplant kind of dip. The real deliciousness happens when the herbs, seasoning, and veggies get up close and personal in the fridge. Trust me, it's exponentially better if you let it sit overnight. It's science. Delicious, edible science!
- Ran out of Greek yogurt? No worries! You can use a little extra mayo and sour cream to make up the missing cup. Easy peasy!
- optional fresh chopped veggies for topping: tomato, onion, spinach, etc...
- Nutrition Facts below are estimated for the dip using an online recipe nutrition calculator. Adjust as needed based on choice of dippers and enjoy!
