Creamy Spinach Dip
Recipe and Image Copyright © 2003-2010 Jennifer Iserloh
Artichokes make this creamy spinach dip chunky and satisfying without adding loads of extra fat that the traditional versions has. Artichokes are also high in fiber and make for an excellent salad dressing. Watch Better TV clip featuring this recipe!
Serves 12
Ingredients
2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
2 cups fat-free plain yogurt
1 14-ounce can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 8-ounce block reduced fat cream cheese, room temperature
2 cups fresh baby spinach leaves, thinly sliced
1/4 cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese, divided
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon mild chili powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
non-stick cooking spray
1 bag whole grain tortilla chips (about 16 cups)
Directions
Coat a 8×12 baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 400° F.
In a large bowl, add half the mozzarella, yogurt, artichokes, cream cheese, spinach, half the Parmesan, garlic, pepper, chili, and salt. Mix with a wooden spoon until the spinach and artichokes are well combined. Transfer to baking dish and sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan.
Bake 10-15 minutes uncovered until the cheese begins to brown and the dip is warm. Serve immediately with chips.

I have now tried six of your recipes and I must say that I am blow away!! I recently purchased another healthy cooking cookbook (a popular one that I will not name) and your recipes blow it out of the water! Your recipes are easy to execute and have turned out delicious every single time. This dip was a hit for a Saints game and when I brought the zucchini brownies to the office, coworkers begged me for the recipe! I have also made your lean meatloaf, zucchini with sage, buttermilk chicken tenders and chocolate chip cookie bars. I look forward to trying many more! Thank you!
