Spinach artichoke dip made with Greek yogurt – This all time favorite dip is made healthier by using Greek yogurt to save some calories. Perfect appetizer.
I have no idea why. But lately I’m obsessed with the artichoke spinach combination. I love it!
I was visiting one of my favorite stores recently. (Just guess. It’s not that hard.) Anyway, I saw a tub of this dip. What caught my attention was the fact that it was made with Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt is a girl’s best friend.
I decided to try to duplicate it at home. I’m all about saving calories without sacrificing taste.
Hmm. Let’s see less calories, delicious. More calories, delicious. I think I’ll go with the first option.
I thought it turned out good so I wanted to share it with you. You can eat this hot or cold. I served it cold with bread and crackers. You can also serve with veggies or various other things.
P.S. Do not just grab a spoonful of this right before bed and forget to brush your teeth. Your spouse will notice. I’m not talking from experience here or anything. 😉
Blessings and love sent your way!
