Warm Spinach-White Bean Dip with Crudites image

Unlike traditional spinach dips, which are built around sour cream, this version gets its luscious texture from pureed part-skim ricotta cheese and fiber-rich cannellini beans.

Yield Makes 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 ounces baby spinach (3 cups)
1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1 can (15 ounces) cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 1/4 teaspoons coarse salt
Freshly ground pepper

1/2 large head cauliflower (about 1 pound), cut into florets and thinly sliced
3 stalks celery, halved lengthwise and then crosswise

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make the dip: Wash spinach, leaving some water clinging to the leaves. Transfer to a large saucepan. Cover, and steam spinach over medium heat, stirring once, until wilted, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove spinach using a slotted spoon, and let cool. Squeeze out excess liquid using a kitchen towel; coarsely chop.
