After I got the chips from Food Should Taste Good, I knew I wanted to make a dip to go with them. I ended up going to their recipe website and found skinny spinach dip. I love spinach dip, but it’s normally a pretty high calorie choice. I added up the ingredients from this recipe and the entire batch is about 500 calories! So of course I’m sharing it with all of you!
Here’s what you’ll need:
4 cups chopped fresh spinach, loosely packed
12 oz plain greek yogurt (I like Fage)
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup grate Parmesan cheese
And the steps to make this are super easy!
Put the first seven ingredients (everything but the Parmesan) in a bowl.
Mix it together.
Put the mix in an oven proof bowl (I sprayed some non-stick spray in it).
I actually made this a day ahead so for me, the next step was to stick it in my fridge. I was going to bake it the next day. If you are making this the same day, obviously skip this step.
(Now you all know what I keep in my fridge!)
When you are ready to bake it, put it in a 350 degree oven.
And let it bake for about 30 minutes (since mine came out of the fridge, I let it bake for about 40 minutes). The cheese should be melted and bubbly and the edges should be golden.
Finally, sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top!
That’s it! It’s super easy and it was really yummy too! Between me and my friend, we pretty much finished it all! I know that I’ll be making this again for parties in the future. It was quick to put together and it looked impressive. The only thing that I would change was I would make sure to chop the spinach smaller. Or maybe take some frozen spinach and thaw and drain it to use. But even with the big spinach pieces, it was so good!
I hope you all try this out sometime soon!
PS: On a totally unrelated note, I want to wish my brother Ross a happy birthday!
