This dip makes the best appetizer. This warm, creamy, cheesy dip works great at holiday events while people are waiting for the meal to be prepared. I made it for Thanksgiving this year and it was a hit! In fact, I think it was gone before I even got to try it….and no one even knew it was light!
I love to make this dip because it’s tasty, easy to prepare, and a light way to start off a meal (which is always good because it helps you not to over-indulge once you get your food). You can assemble it up to two days ahead and bake it just before serving.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
- 2 10-ounce packages frozen, chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- 1 (8-ounce) package fat-free cream cheese
- 1/2 cup light sour cream
- 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts
- 1/4 tsp salt and black pepper (or to taste)
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed (or 2 tsp garlic powder)
- Non-stick cooking spray
Method
- Lightly coat a skillet with cooking spray. Cook and stir onion over medium heat until transparent (about 5 minutes).
Add spinach. Cook until thoroughly heated (about 1-2 minutes). Reduce heat; add cream cheese. Stir until melted and smooth. Stir in sour cream, Parmesan cheese, and artichokes. Remove from heat. - Season with black pepper and salt. Transfer to a 1 1/2-quart microwave-safe bowl (or baking dish) and bake and/or microwave until warmed through right before serving.
- Serve with baked tortilla chips ( I like Guiltless Gourmet brand from Wholefoods). Or home-made pita chips (Take any high fiber pita bread like ‘La Tortilla Factory’s Smart & Delicious Low-Carb High Fiber Large Tortillas’. Spray pita with non-stick cooking spray and flavor with a pinch of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and 1 Tbs grated Parmesan cheese. Bake it at 350 degrees for about 8-10 minutes.)
Enjoy! Love Katie
