Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 cup | Mayonnaise |
| 1 1/2 cups | Sour cream |
| 1 1/3 tablespoons | Dill weed |
| 2 tablespoons | Parsley flakes |
| 2 teaspoons | Onion powder |
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Bread:
- Start by cutting the top off of a round loaf of rye bread to use as a lid. Set the lid aside for later.
- Hollow out the loaf of bread, saving the insides for dipping. Make sure to leave a sturdy edge around the crust to hold the dip.
-
Mix the Dip:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, dill weed, parsley flakes, and onion powder. Stir until all the ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is smooth and creamy.

-
Fill the Bread:
- Pour the prepared dip into the hollowed-out loaf of bread, filling it to the top. Spread the dip evenly, ensuring that it reaches all corners of the bread.
-
Chill:
- Place the “lid” back on top of the loaf of bread to cover the dip completely. Transfer the filled bread to the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 3 to 4 hours, or until the dip is well chilled and set.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once chilled, remove the bread dip from the refrigerator and place it on a serving platter. Surround it with your favorite dippers, such as raw veggies, crackers, or toasted rye bread slices.
- Encourage your guests to use their imagination and dip away to their heart’s content!
Tips:
- Variations: Feel free to customize this dip by adding additional herbs or spices to suit your taste preferences. Chopped chives, garlic powder, or a squeeze of lemon juice can all add a delicious twist.
- Presentation: For a festive touch, garnish the top of the dip with a sprinkle of extra dill weed or parsley flakes before serving.
- Make-Ahead: You can prepare the dip a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve. Just make sure to keep it covered to prevent any flavors from transferring.
- Leftovers: If you happen to have any leftover dip, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It’s great for snacking or spreading on sandwiches!
With its creamy texture and zesty flavor, this rye bread dip is sure to be a crowd-pleaser at your next gathering. Whether you’re hosting a party or simply craving a tasty snack, this recipe is quick, easy, and oh-so-delicious!
