Spinach and artichoke dip has an unshakeable hold on me. If someone orders it at a restaurant, I eat much more than my fair share. By using a few lighter ingredients, you can make a dip that’s just as addicting.
INGREDIENTS
1 (13.75-ounce) can quartered artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
10 ounces fresh baby spinach, roughly chopped
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup finely diced red onion
1 (8-ounce) package reduced-fat cream cheese, cut into cubes
½ cup light sour cream
½ cup crème fraîche
½ cup skim milk
4 cloves garlic, finely minced
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pita chips or crackers, for serving
DIRECTIONS
