The best dip ever

A family favourite, this dip pops up at every special family event - Christmas, birthdays, funerals. Super simple and so so tasty, it will surprise you just how amazing it is!

Rhi's dip

1 packet frozen spinach, defrosted and drained
1 cup sour cream
1 cup mayonnaise
1 packet spring onion soup mix
3-4 spring onions
1 tin water chestnuts, drained
1 cop bread loaf, preferably white

Now, it really is best to go with the full fat versions of the sour cream and mayonnaise. Trust me.

Add all ingredients (except the bread) to a blender and blend until desired consistency. I prefer my water chestnuts to still have a little crunch left to them, so to achieve this you may need to roughly chop the spring onions.

There is some simple, delectable pleasure in harvesting the food you are about to cook. My beautiful sister grew these spring onions in her wonderful pot garden...

Ready for mixing...
 

You won't be able to resist licking the bowl clean either...

Hollow out the cob loaf and use bread and the lid of the cob loaf as the conduit for scooping out the decadent green deliciousness. You will not be able to stop at one piece. Just remember, its healthy, its got spinach in it :-)



Bon appetit.
