CILANTRO-LIME SPINACH DIP WITH CHIPOTLE CHILES

Cilantro-Lime Spinach Dip With Chipotle Chiles image

Adapted from America's Test Kitchen. Partial thawing of the spinach produces a cold dip that can be served without further chilling. The garlic must be minced or pressed before going into the food processor; otherwise the dip will contain chunks of garlic. This dip is good served with tortilla chips.

Got this out of Chef's Illustrated a few years ago. A bit different, and very good. I use low-fat products to reduce the fat and calories, and it's still great.
