Healthy Spinach Artichoke Dip
Description
This dip starts by blending softened cream cheese with Greek yogurt for a lower-fat base, seasoned with minced garlic and spices. Chopped artichoke hearts and thoroughly drained spinach are incorporated with mozzarella cheese and diced mild green chili to add texture and subtle heat. The mixture is transferred to a baking dish, topped with Parmesan and extra mozzarella, then baked until hot and lightly golden.
The flavor balances creamy cheese with garlic and mild spice elements, complementing the tender spinach and artichoke pieces. Its thick consistency makes it easy to scoop with various dippers such as crackers or vegetables.
