Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 ounces (about 1 cup) frozen spinach
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 cup chopped green onions (3 to 4 green onions), both green and white parts
1 chopped poblano pepper (for some spice) or red bell pepper (for mild flavor)
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (scale down or omit for mild flavor)
¼ teaspoon fine salt, to taste
8 ounces cream cheese, sliced into 4 even pieces
½ cup (4 ounces) sour cream
½ cup (4 ounces) chopped artichoke, canned or marinated
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Serving suggestions: Tortilla chips, toasted pita wedges or pita chips, crostini, strips of bell pepper, carrot or celery sticks...

Steps:

  • To thaw the frozen spinach, place it in a fine mesh sieve and run cool water over it until the ice is all gone. Squeeze out all of the excess moisture in a tea towel or in fistfuls over the sink. Set aside.
  • In a small-to-medium skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil until shimmering. Add the green onions, poblano pepper, red pepper flakes (if using) and ¼ teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often, until the green onions are frazzled and lightly golden around the edges and the peppers are tender, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Add the drained spinach, cream cheese, sour cream, drained artichoke, and several twists of black pepper. While stirring constantly, cook until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed together, warmed through and lightly steaming, about 2 to 4 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper, to taste (careful, the dip is hot!).
  • Serve warm with any desired accompaniments. Leftover dip will keep in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 4 days. Gently reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop before serving.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients in advance: This will make the cooking process much smoother and quicker. Chop your vegetables, measure out your spices, and preheat your oven before you start cooking.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the spinach and artichoke mixture, be sure to give the ingredients enough space to cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the ingredients will steam instead of sautéing, and you'll end up with a mushy dip.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in this dip, so be sure to use a good quality cheese that melts well. A sharp cheddar cheese or a creamy Gruyère cheese are both good choices.
  • Don't overcook the dip: The dip is done cooking when the cheese is melted and bubbly. Overcooking the dip will make the cheese tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the dip with a variety of dippers: This dip is delicious served with a variety of dippers, such as tortilla chips, pita chips, vegetable crudités, or bread. You can also use the dip as a spread for sandwiches or wraps.

Conclusion:

This crispy creamy low-fat spinach artichoke dip is a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with healthy ingredients like spinach, artichoke hearts, and low-fat cream cheese, and it is baked until golden brown and bubbly. Serve this dip with a variety of dippers, such as tortilla chips, pita chips, vegetable crudités, or bread, and enjoy!
