LOW FAT SPINACH AND ARTICHOKE DIP



Low Fat Spinach and Artichoke Dip image

I love spinach and artichoke dip, but hate the fat... I came up with this fast and easy recipe that tastes great, is easy to put together, low in fat but big on taste! Flavored with roasted red peppers and Parmesan cheese, no yicky mayo here! Makes enough for a large crowd. Can be made in the microwave for even faster preparation. Also delicious served cold. Note: recipe can be made with fat-free marinade artichokes, I usually buy two small jars, adds a little extra zing! WW points = 1/serving

Provided by Food Network

Time 15m

Yield 10 to 12 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (14-ounce) cans extra small artichoke hearts, packed in water, drained and patted dry (recommended: Reese)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 onion, finely diced
1 cup fresh spinach, cut into julienne
1 cup Greek yogurt (recommended: Fage 2 percent)
1/2 cup shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese
4 tablespoons Parmesan
3 tablespoons fresh basil, cut into julienne
Dash ground nutmeg
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 175 degrees F.
  • Halve all but 2 of the artichoke hearts and grill the rest over medium-high heat on an oiled grill (a grill pan may be substituted) until lightly charred and warmed through. Keep warm in the oven while preparing the spinach and artichoke dip.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Saute the onions until tender and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the spinach and cook until wilted and all the moisture in the pan has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Chop the reserved whole artichoke hearts and add, along with the Greek yogurt, mozzarella and Parmesan. Cook until cheese has melted. Add the basil and nutmeg, season with salt and pepper, and serve on top of grilled artichoke hearts.
