SPINACH DIP

Ingredients
Half Package (10 oz/284 g) fresh spinach
½ cup fat-free plain yogurt
¾ cup fat-free cream cheese
½ tsp minced garlic
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
salt and pepper

Method
1. Rinse spinach and shake off excess water. In a sauté pan cook until leaves are wilted; drain excess water and moisture from wilted leaves.
2. In food processor, add spinach, yogurt, cream cheese, garlic, parsley, parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper to taste; mix until everything comes together. Avoid over-processing as you don’t want it pureed.

You may prepare this up to a day in advance. Serve with vegetables or fat-free pita chips. It also works well in small round bread; hollow out bread, saving what you remove. Removed pieces can be used along with vegetables for dipping.

Yield: 12 ounces (6 servings – ¼ cup per person)
