Directions
-
Thaw the frozen spinach completely and squeeze out all excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
-
Drain the water chestnuts thoroughly and chop them into small, bite-sized pieces for added crunch.
-
Finely chop the scallions to ensure even distribution of flavor throughout the dip.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the squeezed spinach, chopped water chestnuts, scallions, Lipton Onion Soup Mix, sour cream, and mayonnaise.
-
Stir the mixture well until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the dip is creamy and uniform.
-
Take a round loaf of sourdough bread and carefully cut out the top, then scoop out the soft interior bread to create a hollow bowl, leaving about a 1-inch thick shell.
-
Cut the scooped-out bread into cubes to use as serving vehicles for the dip.
-
Spoon the spinach dip mixture into the hollowed-out sourdough bread bowl, filling it nearly to the top.
-
Cover the bread bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow flavors to meld.
-
Serve the chilled dip directly in the sourdough bread bowl, accompanied by the bread cubes and fresh raw vegetable sticks.
