Hot Artichoke Spinach Dip requires ¼ cup of frozen chopped thawed spinach, 120g of reduced fat cream cheese, two tablespoons of water, ½ cup of grated parmesan cheese and 120g of 2% Greek Yogurt. In addition, half diced tomato, 2 tablespoons of low-fat milk, ½ teaspoon of salt, ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes and a pinch of ground black pepper to be made. The diced artichoke hearts will be added to the chopped spinach along with water in a microwave-safe bowl and given high heat for 5–6 minutes. Once taken out, the bowl will be wrapped in plastic and small holes will be poked in it for ventilation. Then all the other ingredients will be combined in a saucepan and the steamed spinach and artichoke mixture will be added to it. Medium to low heat will be provided to the mixture. Stir for ten minutes and the dip is ready. Hot Artichoke Spinach Dip is a perfect combination of fun, exotica, creamy and cheesy texture and good health and thus makes up for a very fine dip for weightwatchers. It can be served with crackers, raw sliced vegetables, pita chips, toasted bread or any other snack of choice. The dip adds an amazing taste to the snack whilst keeping the calorie intake highly controlled. One of the best ingredients in this dip is Greek Yogurt which is fast becoming the choice of many health conscious people. It is widely available and with a lot of people now eating yogurt on daily basis, is being largely bought. Gradually, the market of this cheese is increasing. In Greece, the yogurt is manufactured from cow’s as well as sheep’s milk and both the versions are consumed at large. However, exports to the United Sates include only the versions that are made using cow’s milk as it suits the taste of local people more. Hot Artichoke Spinach Dip is made using this highly stained, protein rich yogurt that is fit for weightwatchers and diabetics.
However, everyone can use this yogurt as it is almost as much nutritious as the regular one. Since the Hot Artichoke Spinach Dip contains this yogurt, it is fit and healthy for all.
