Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh spinach
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 cup Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 4 ounces Low-fat cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly and pat it dry.
Finely chop the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and caramelized.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, low-fat cream cheese, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix until smooth and creamy.
Fold the cooked spinach and onion mixture into the creamy base, ensuring everything is evenly combined.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled with fresh veggies, whole-grain crackers, or pita chips.
