This low fat spinach dip makes a terrific appetizer. Serve with a platter of fresh vegetables or with some baked chips or breadsticks. Use frozen chopped spinach if you prefer. You can spice it up a little by adding a dash of hot sauce.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 10 ounces fresh baby spinach, steamed until wilted
  • 1 cup plain fat-free yogurt, drained of excess water
  • 4 ounces fat-free cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped scallions
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

PREPARATION:

Place wilted spinach in a colander and squeeze out excess water. Chop finely and place in a medium bowl. Stir yogurt and cream cheese together until smooth. Add to spinach. Stir in remaining ingredients and blend thoroughly. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Makes about 2 cups.
