Skinny Spinach and Artichoke Dip Recipe
Description
The dip combines reduced-fat cream cheese and non-fat Greek yogurt melted together with butter and Parmesan cheese to create a cohesive creamy base. Chopped artichoke hearts and thawed, well-drained spinach add texture and earthiness. Diced jalapeños introduce a controlled level of heat, while pressed garlic cloves contribute pungent aroma and flavor. The ingredients are stirred over medium heat until the cheese melts evenly and the dip begins to bubble lightly, thickening to a smooth consistency.
Its texture is creamy and dense but lighter than traditional versions due to Greek yogurt and reduced-fat cream cheese. The dip can be served warm as a snack alongside breads, crackers, or vegetable sticks.
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese reduced fat
- 16 oz Greek yogurt plain, non-fat
- 2 Tbsp butter unsalted
- 1 1/2 cups Parmesan Cheese
- 14 oz artichoke hearts drained and coarsely chopped, quartered
- 4 oz jalapeno pepper drained (if you like it spicier, don't drain, diced, canned
- 10 oz spinach thawed and drained, frozen
- 2-3 garlic cloves
Instructions
- In a medium pot over medium heat, melt together 8oz cream cheese, 16 oz Greek Yogurt, 2 Tbsp butter and 1.5 cups parmesan cheese, uncovered, stirring frequently until melted and an even consistency. It should start to bubble lightly.
- Stir in coarsely chopped artichoke hearts, your drained jalapeños and drained spinach (I squeezed the spinach over the sink to remove excess water). Finally, stir in 2-3 pressed garlic cloves. Let it bubble for a few minutes and it's done.
