It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

What makes this spinach dip different is the dry Italian salad dressing mix in place of the normal onion or vegetable soup mix. Also, you can modify the proportion of mayo to sour cream if you wish. We used 1 1/2 cups sour cream and 1/2 cup of mayo with good results. You don't have to serve this in the bread bowl, you can just serve it from a dish with other dippers (veggies, pita triangles, etc).
