Hawaii Bread Dip
A creamy, savory spinach dip with green onions and vegetable flavors, perfect for pairing with Hawaiian bread or chips at gatherings or casual parties.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Squeeze all water out of the frozen spinach without cooking.
- Add the drained spinach to the salad dressing, dry vegetable soup mix, sour cream, and chopped green onions.
- Mix well and let set for 8 hours if possible to allow flavors to meld.
- Serve with Hawaiian bread or chips.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Fresh spinach can be used if you sauté it briefly to reduce moisture. Allowing the dip to sit for at least 8 hours enhances the flavors, but if you're short on time, a quick chill for 1 hour will suffice. This dip pairs well with Hawaiian bread, but chips or vegetable sticks are great alternatives.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this delicious Hawaii Bread Dip alongside warm Hawaiian bread for a wonderful appetizer or snack. It also pairs nicely with a fresh veggie platter or tortilla chips. For a complete meal, consider serving it with a side of Garden Fresh Tastin Corn Anytime for a delightful contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If the dip thickens too much, stir in a little extra salad dressing or sour cream to loosen it before serving. Reheat gently in the microwave for a warm dip, but be careful not to overheat to avoid separation.
