Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- 4 ounces low-fat cream cheese
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 spray olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly coat a small baking dish with olive oil spray and set it aside.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the fresh spinach and blanch for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Drain immediately and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
Squeeze out as much water as possible from the spinach using your hands or a clean kitchen towel. Chop the spinach finely and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, low-fat cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well blended.
Fold the chopped spinach into the cheese mixture, ensuring it is evenly incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with whole-grain crackers, sliced vegetables, or toasted bread!
