Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 ounces Frozen chopped spinach
- 12 ounces Marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 1 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 4 ounces Low-fat cream cheese, softened
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 for greasing the dish Olive oil cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Thaw the frozen spinach by microwaving it for about 2-3 minutes or until softened. Once thawed, squeeze out as much excess water as possible using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped artichoke hearts, thawed spinach, Greek yogurt, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Mix everything together until well combined. Ensure that the cream cheese is fully incorporated for a smooth texture.
Lightly grease a small baking dish with olive oil cooking spray.
Transfer the spinach and artichoke mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the dip is heated through and the top is slightly golden and bubbly.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm with whole-grain crackers, sliced vegetables, or pita chips for dipping.
