I put a Spinach Dip recipe and a Black Bean Dip recipe on a different thread. In case you didn't see them here they are:

Spinach Dip

1 pkg. Lipton Vegetable Soup Mix (or Knorr's Vegetable soup mix)
8 oz. sour cream
1 cup Mayonaise (not Miracle Whip or Salad dressing)
10 oz. frozen chopped spinach, thawed and water squeezed out
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1 can water chestnuts, drained and chopped

In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients, chill for 2 hours

Serve with crackers or, my favorite, Kings Hawaiian Bread torn into small chunks.
Or if you want to get fancy you can take the Hawaiian Bread and cut the top off and hollow it out and serve the dip inside the bread. Take what you carved out and tear into chunks and serve from a bowl. This is very good!!!!

Bean Salsa Dip

1 can Blackeyed Peas
1 can Black Beans
1 can Red Beans
1 can Shoepeg Corn (or any can of corn will work--I think that shoepeg corn is smaller kernels)
1 green Pepper, finely chopped
1 red Pepper, finely chopped
1 Onion, finely chopped
1/4 to 1/2 bunch fresh Cilantro
1 large bottle of Zesty Italian Dressing

Drain and rinse the beans. Then mix everything together. This makes a large amount. Serve with Frito Chips or tortilla chips. Yummy!!!!
