Ingredients

  • round loaf bread (rye or pumpernickel)
  • bread cubes from same bread
  • 2 c. sour cream
  • 2 c. mayonnaise
  • 3 Tbsp. parsley
  • 3 Tbsp. minced onion

Instructions

  1. Mix sour cream, mayonnaise, parsley, minced onion, and dill to make the dip.
  2. Use the hollowed-out bread loaf as a bowl and serve with bread cubes for dipping.

Tips & Substitutions

For a lighter dip, consider substituting half of the sour cream with Greek yogurt. Fresh dill can also be used instead of dried; just adjust the amount to taste. If you want a kick, add a splash of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper. Make sure to chill the dip for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this dip in the hollowed-out bread loaf for an attractive presentation. It pairs beautifully with fresh vegetable sticks, such as carrots and celery, or even with chips for added crunch. For a full spread, consider offering it alongside Meat Balls In Tomato Gravy or other appetizers to create a delightful snack table.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. If you have leftover bread, keep it separate to maintain its texture. Reheat the bread cubes in a toaster oven for a few minutes to restore their crunch before serving again.
