Miracle Whip chip dips were the no-cook trick your grandma had figured out
This Miracle Whip chip dip is part of a wider batch of recipes that showed up in newspapers throughout the 1980s, each one built around the same tangy base. The lineup ranges from a Parmesan and chive dip to a warm bacon and cheddar dip, plus spinach, barbecue, garlic vegetable and shrimp versions.

7. Vegetable dip (1983)
1 cup sour cream
1 cup Miracle Whip dressing
3 garlic cloves, minced;
1/2 cup chopped parsley;
1/2 cup chopped chives or green onion tops:
1 tsp. Tabasco.
Mix well and refrigerate until needed.
8. Spinach chip dip with Miracle Whip
1 cup sour cream
1 cup Miracle Whip dressing
1 can water chestnuts, chopped and drained
1 10 oz. package frozen chopped spinach, well-drained
1 pkg. vegetable soup mix (I use Knorr)
Mix well and refrigerate until needed. When ready to serve cut the top from a firm, round peasant-type bread. Scoop out, in bite-size chunks, at least half of the bread. The cavity must be large enough to hold the dip.
Place loaf on serving platter, fill with the dip and surround the loaf with the bread chunks.
As bread is difficult to dip, a small spoon or knife will be needed.
