One of the most popular dips for a party or get-together is spinach dip which is usually high in fat. The classic recipe is a mix of sour cream and mayonnaise. To lower the fat content but still maintain flavor, I’m using fat-free versions of yogurt and cream cheese. You’ll have an easy dip without all of the fat, but it still tastes great.
I prefer using fresh steamed baby spinach, but you could use the usual frozen spinach. Defrost or place frozen spinach in a colander and pour boiling water over it until softened. Then press the spinach in a clean towel until dry.

Spinach would not usually be my first choice for a dip but this looks and sounds so good. The presentation is so cute.
I’m glad you like it!
I really can’t tell the dif between the full and low fat versions and why not go for the low? Nice!

This sounds really good. I was not even aware that they made a fat-free cream cheese. Works for me.
