Spinach Artichoke Dip
Anyone else’s TV been taken over by football lately?! I don’t watch sports but I am here for the snacks that go along with it. I debated calling this best ever spinach artichoke dip because honestly I’ve had my fair share of this dish and I can truly say this is magnificent. Add this to your list of Sunday staples - whether you’re watching sports or watching Netflix this is a must.
I used Greek yogurt as the the base, versus cream cheese that you see traditionally in this dip. I personally really like the Stonyfield plain whole milk yogurt. I think it has a great thick consistency, and a good creamy taste as well. Of course you can use your choice of yogurt, but I don’t recommend using a low fat version for this. For the artichokes I used Cynara grilled artichoke hearts. I like the added seasoning, but you don’t necessarily have to use those.
We served them with Siete tortilla chips & celery, I also think they would be great with carrots & bell pepper slices! Enjoy!
Spinach Artichoke Dip
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp. unsalted butter
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup fresh shaved parmesan
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
- 1 14 oz. jar Cynara grilled artichokes
- 1 large handful (~1 cup) fresh spinach
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Place butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once it has melted and is a bit foamy add in the minced garlic and let simmer 30 seconds.
- Turn the heat down to low and add in the Greek yogurt, both cheeses, and a dash of salt and pepper. Stir it until the cheese has completely melted in.
- Drain the jar of artichokes and roughly chop them. Add the artichokes and the spinach to the sauce. Stir well until the spinach has started to wilt in, a couple of minutes.
- Make the sure the heat is turned down very low and place a lid on the pot for about 2 minutes just to let everything melt together a bit more. Serve with chips or veggies!
