“Baking the dip in the actual bread shell makes it a very attractive dish, and it's very easy to clean up. Every time I serve this, people can't believe how healthy and veggie-filled it is.” Ella Homel - Chicago, Illinois

Parmesan PointersWhen a recipe calls for shredded Parmesan cheese, use the cheese found in bags in the grocery store dairy section. Shredded Parmesan is often used in salads or soups where the shreds make a pretty garnish. If grated Parmesan is called for, use the finely grated cheese sold in containers with shaker/pourer tops. This type works well in lasagna and casseroles. (You can substitute either shredded or grated Parmesan in equal proportions in your favorite recipes.) If you decide to buy a chunk of Parmesan cheese and grate your own, be sure to use the finest section on your grating tool. You can also use a blender or food processor. Simply cut the cheese into 1-inch cubes and process 1 cup of cubes at a time on high until finely grated.

I make this recipe as well except we are not that fond of pumpernickle bread so i use the whole round of the Hawaiian Bread and its delicious. I have also left out the artichokes and used just the spinich dip.You also do not have to serve this hot as you can make a cold spinich dip which we prefer in the summer months.

Very good, to lower sodium content try using different cheeses. Parmesan is definitely a problem, also use artichoke hearts in water not the marinated ones. Easy fix.

I've made this dip several times to take to parties and it has always been a huge hit! I have not yet made it in a bread bowl; I just bake it in a corning dish. It's easier for me to transport and reheat that way. I also use a little extra mayo and cheese to make it a little creamier.

You could wash off all of the liquid to reduce the salt of the artichokes and use the low sodium soups/

This is delicious. But, all that sodium, for me is a killer, I am supposed to be on a sodium restricted diet. My doctor would have a fit if he knew I was eating this. You should give us low sodium versions of some of your high sodium recipes. There are lots of us out here.
