Fresh Spinach Dip in a Bread Bowl
This Fresh Spinach Dip in a Bread Bowl combines creamy yogurt, mayonnaise, and sour cream with chopped baby spinach, carrots, and green onions for a mildly seasoned, cool dip. The dip is served inside a hollowed-out bread round, creating a rustic presentation and adding bread dippers made from the scooped-out bread pieces. The garlic powder, dill, and black pepper provide subtle savory notes. Chilling the dip allows flavors to meld overnight, enhancing its texture and taste.
Ingredients
- 1 bread small round loaf
- 1 cup yogurt my favorite is Fage 2%, plain, Greek
- ⅔ cup mayonnaise quality
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp dill dried
- ½ cup carrot shredded, chopped or minced
- 2-3 oz baby spinach fresh, chopped
- 2-3 TBSP green onion chopped
Instructions
- Slice off the top portion of your loaf and remove most of the fluffy bread from the center.
- Chop bot the "lid" and the insides to use as dippers - no food waste here!
- For the dip, chop your veggies and combine with yogurt, mayo, and sour cream. Season with garlic powder, salt, pepper, and dill and mix well.
- Feel free to enjoy right away, but for best results, allow dip to chill overnight. Serious deliciousness happens when the ingredients get up close and personal in the fridge!
Notes
- Use the scooped-out bread both as a lid and cut into pieces for dippers to avoid waste.
- Chill the dip overnight to let the flavors fully meld and improve texture.
- Optional vegetable garnishes like tomatoes or extra green onions add freshness when serving.
- Good dippers include celery, carrot sticks, cucumbers, bell peppers, pita chips, or broccoli and cauliflower pieces.
