Recipe: Spinach Dip in a Pumpernickel Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 package of frozen spinach
- 3 green onions
- 1 large carrot
- 1 stalk of celery
- 1/2 a red pepper
- 1 can of water chestnuts
- 1 cup light mayonnaise
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 1/2 tsp of garlic powder
- 1 tsp of soya sauce
- cayenne pepper (to taste)
- salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1 round loaf of pumpernickel bread
Directions
Soak package of frozen spinach in a bowl of warm water to defrost completely.
Once it’s defrosted, take out a tea towel and place the spinach in the middle. Ring out all the water several times until the spinach is dry. (Note: If you use a microwave to speed up the process, must make sure the spinach is completely cool before mixing in the mayonnaise and yogurt).
Place the spinach in a large bowl. Finely chop the green onion, carrot, celery, red pepper and dice water chestnuts to add to the bowl.

Cut the top off the pumpernickel bread. Hollow out the bread, leaving enough space for the portion of spinach dip made. Cut the excess bread into even pieces to use as dippers.

Once the spinach dip is ready, place in the middle of the bread in a bowl or directly.
Serve and enjoy!
