Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup canned artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the dip.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the chopped fresh spinach and drained, chopped artichoke hearts. Make sure the spinach is well chopped to ensure even distribution in the dip.
- Add the Greek yogurt to the bowl, mixing it in thoroughly with the spinach and artichokes. This will serve as the creamy base of your dip.
- Incorporate the grated Parmesan cheese into the mixture, stirring until it is evenly distributed. The cheese will add a rich flavor and a bit of texture.
- Next, add the minced garlic to the mixture. This will provide a delicious aromatic flavor to the dip. Stir well to ensure the garlic is evenly mixed.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Start with a pinch of each and adjust according to your preference. Mix well.
- Transfer the dip mixture into a small baking dish, spreading it out evenly. This will help it cook uniformly.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the dip is heated through and slightly bubbly on the edges.
- Once done, remove the dip from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This dip can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
- Serve the Super Slim Mayonnaise Free Spinach Artichoke Dip with your choice of dippers, such as whole-grain crackers, sliced vegetables, or pita chips.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, you can chop the spinach and artichokes in advance. Store them in the refrigerator until you're ready to mix everything together.
- Cheese Variations: Feel free to experiment with different cheeses! Adding a bit of mozzarella or feta can give your dip a unique flavor twist.
- Add Some Heat: If you like a little kick, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the mixture before baking.
- Perfect Baking Dish: Use a shallow baking dish to ensure even cooking. A wider surface area allows the dip to heat through and become bubbly.
- Serving Suggestions: This dip pairs wonderfully with whole-grain crackers, sliced veggies, or even toasted baguette slices. Get creative with your dippers!
- Storage: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave before serving again.
