Best Low-Fat Spinach Dip Recipe

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.
