Spinach artichoke dip

 

Spinach artichoke dip just screams comfort and get togethers with friends. This one is a little bit lighter without missing out on all the flavor you expect from a good dip. I switched it up a little bit on this one and added some serranos to the mix.

Healthier Spinach Artichoke Dip

This version of a classic dip has been made a little healthier with a couple tweaks. I’m a firm believer that we don’t have to go to extremes to be healthy and live a healthy lifestyle. But rather we just need to focus on the small tweaks because they add up, and they’re much more doable with a busy lifestyle.

So what tweaks did I do to make this spinach artichoke dip just a bit healthier? I used a reduced fat cream cheese and some fat free Greek yogurt. Don’t worry though, there’s still cheese in it! I didn’t completely change it, just small adjustments. I also added a bit more spinach, like half a handful more just to get in a little more vegetables.

I got a little creative and decided to add some serrano peppers to the mix. It turned out fabulous. Not too spicy, but just a little hint that added some serious flavor. Serranos don’t get the love they deserve. They’re so flavorful and a great addition to most recipes if you like spice.

How to make spinach artichoke dip

Spinach artichoke dip is really simple to make. You’ll need:

Parmesan cheese
Serrano peppers: optional but worth it
Seasonings: salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
Bakeware to cook that dip up in

Mix all the ingredients in the food processor, and blend. Pour into your bakeware and bake it for about 20 minutes at 375 degree F.
