If you&#8217;re looking for something to bring to a party, you can create a bowl using a loaf of pumpernickel bread. Cut the top off the loaf and hollow it out, keep the pieces from hollowing it out for dipping, then fill the &#8220;bowl&#8221; with dip. If you&#8217;re wanting to match it with a different kind of bread, try it with ciabatta bread; the texture and taste of the ciabatta bread are fantastic with the dip (better than pumpernickel in my opinion)!<\/p>\n<p>Ingredients:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen chopped spinach, thawed (do not use fresh)<\/li>\n<li>1 1\/2 c. sour cream (fat-free works well)<\/li>\n<li>1 c. mayonnaise (I use a Hellman&#8217;s light mayo)<\/li>\n<li>1 (4 oz.) pkg.
