Spinach Dip in a Pumpernickel Bowl for #SundaySupper

For any get together with family or friends, I always offer to bring something to share. We’ve gotten to the point where I no longer ask what I can bring because the answer is always the same: Spinach Dip. This super simple spinach dip recipe was probably found in a book many years ago by my mom, who I got the recipe from. I can imagine a cookbook with no pictures and yellowed pages (my favorite kind of cookbook sometimes), or maybe she acquired the recipe from the back of a package of food. Both of these are entirely possible, and maybe when reading this she can clarify.

Spinach Dip 2

The theme for #SundaySupper this week is April Showers, celebration showers that you would normally bring your dish to. Not only do I bring spinach dip for simple nights with girlfriends and our favorite wines, but I bring spinach dip to baby showers, bridal showers, celebrations for new jobs and promotions, and more. I’m asked for this recipe more than any other and I’m happy to pass it on. Once those same friends and family members make this Spinach Dip at another celebration they go to, they are then sought after for the recipe. Simplicity is sometimes the most important key. Enjoy.

Spinach Dip

Ingredients:

1 10 oz package of frozen chopped spinach
1 .4 oz package of dry Ranch dressing seasoning
8 oz jar of mayo
8 oz container of sour cream
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp onion powder

1 lb unsliced pumpernickel loaf (optional)
Sociable crackers (optional, but the best option- trust me)

Directions:

Defrost spinach and squeeze all water out. Combine spinach with all other ingredients.

And there you go, it’s that simple. The lemon juice and onion powder are just estimates and can be done to taste. (Unless baking, my family never uses exact measurements.) I serve my spinach dip in a pumpernickel bowl that comes unsliced from the bakery. I slice it in half, serve the dip in one half and tear apart the other half for dipping. Serve with my favorite crackers, Sociables, and you’re all set.

Who doesn’t like spinach dip? I’m glad you didn’t use the packet of mix because our store is often out of it and then I get so mad because I want to make a spinach dip and don’t have the mix! This recipe will allow me to make it without the package, thank you!

Just to clarify, I ALWAYS have a packet of ranch around the house..I was talking about the actual spinach dip packet never being available in my store 🙂

I love this dip! Someone has brought it to our church potlucks before and it’s always devoured. Thanks for reminding me of this great and simple appetizer!

Lori @ Foxes Love Lemons

Oh yes, this is such a classic! But believe it or not, when I first met my husband, I had never heard of serving dip in pumpernickel bowls! It was something his mom made for parties, and when he told me about it, I thought it was C-R-A-Z-Y. But oh yeah, then I tried it. Not at all crazy 🙂

There was a time when me and my friend would always order spinach dip with nachos whenever we went out. This recipe sounds amazing! Bridal and baby showers are very american, and are maybe starting to happen in the last few years here in argentina. We all got married or had kids at least 10 years ago, so all we did were bachelorette parties!

I ALWAYS attack the spinach dip at any party I go to. Yours looks delicious – so creamy and full of spinach (all that green means it’s healthy, right? 😉 Very cool putting it in a pumpernickel bowl instead of the ol’ sourdough.

Ahh, I love a good (and simple Spinach dip). This one looks especially tasty. Also, I know all too well about those old cookbooks of our mothers’ time that are now torn, stained and have not a single picture! Love an old classic recipe.
