Healthy Skinny Dippin'!
No need to order a super-fatty version of this at a restaurant. Our Crazy-Creamy Spinach Artichoke Dip is GREAT, hot or cold. Serve it with raw veggies and/or baked pita or tortilla chips! Mmmmm... Ingredients: One 10-oz. package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained very well One 14-oz. can artichoke hearts (packed in water), drained very well and chopped One 8-oz. container fat-free cream cheese, room temperature Half an 8-oz. can water chestnuts, drained and chopped 1/4 cup fat-free sour cream 1/4 cup fat-free mayonnaise 1/4 cup reduced-fat parmesan-style grated topping, divided 3 tbsp. minced shallots 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/4 tsp. salt 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper Directions: If you want to serve this dish hot, preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, mayo, and 3 tbsp. of the parm-style top ping. Add the salt and cayenne pepper, and then stir until smooth. In a pan sprayed with nonstick spray, cook the shallots and garlic over medium heat until soft (1 - 2 minutes). Set aside. To the large bowl, add spinach, artichoke hearts, water chestnuts and garlic/shallot mixture. Stir well. If serving dip cold, top with the remaining tbsp. of parm-style topping. If you want to serve the dip hot, transfer to a casserole dish, top with the remaining parm, and then bake for 30 minutes (or until bubbly).
