Last summer I created this variation on the classic Knorr Spinach Dip ... and it was gone in a flash. Try it; it's really yummy. Don't expect any to be left.

Time 3h

Yield 12-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (10 ounce) package chopped frozen spinach
1 cup low-fat sour cream
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon horseradish
1 package Knorr vegetable soup mix (no substitutes)
1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, well drained and chopped
4 tablespoons finely chopped red onions
2 cups cooked peeled baby shrimp
1 loaf pumpernickel bread (round loaf)

Steps:

  • Thaw the spinach, then squeeze out as much water as possible.
  • Combine spinach, sour cream, mayonnaise and horseradish in a mixing bowl; you can also do this in a food processor if you like a more pureed consistency (I often do it by hand, or do it VERY CAREFULLY in the food processor so as not to over-process).
  • Stir in the dry soup mix, the chopped water chestnuts and the onion; stir well.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let flavours meld.
  • Before serving, stir shrimp into dip mixture.
  • Cut off the top of the loaf of bread and hollow it out, reserving the lid and the inner bread chunks to serve alongside.
  • Fill hollowed bread shell with dip and serve with the bread, cut into chunks, along with an assortment of crackers and carrot sticks.
  • People are drawn to this; watch it disappear!
