Healthy Spinach Artichoke Dip

Ok, so maybe healthy isn't exactly the right word. How about 'low-fat?' This recipe is a lighter take on my favorite football season snack, and honestly, it's just as good as the full-fat version!

INGREDIENTS
  • 13.75 oz artichoke hearts packed in water, drained
  • 10 oz frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed
  • 1/4 cup chopped shallots
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/2 cup fat free Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup light mayonnaise
  • 2/3 cup Parmigiano Reggiano
  • 4 oz shredded part skim mozzarella cheese
  • salt and fresh pepper to taste
  • olive oil spray
DIRECTIONS

Preheat
oven to 375°.

In a small food processor, coarsely chop the artichoke hearts with the garlic and shallots.
Or chop them coarsely with a knife- less to clean up later!


Combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl.

Place
in an oven-proof dish and bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes, until hot and cheese is melted. Serve right away.
VERDICT

Yummy. And only 73 calories... if you only eat 1/4 a cup. But still- much better than the full-fat version!
