Make a lighter appetizer with this Skinny Spinach Artichoke Dip!
If you haven’t figured it out yet, I’m kind of a walking contradiction when it comes to cheese. On one hand, my logical brain knows I should stay away from the stuff. On the other hand, well, it’s cheese. And it’s dang good.
When game day rolls around, or any party opportunity, really, it gets fifty million times harder to avoid it. In everyday life I try to enjoy cheese in strict moderation, and that’s the philosophy I brought to this recipe. I’m not one to sub low-fat cheese and mayo to a recipe and call it skinny. What I did here was use less cheese rather than the same amount of the low-fat stuff. It’s still plenty cheesy, trust me. 
Instead of mayo or sour cream many spinach artichoke dip recipes call for, I used greek yogurt. I also used a small amount of cream cheese to add to the creamy texture everyone loves.
The end result was a flavorful appetizer that didn’t leave me feeling sluggish and overstuffed. It was just the right amount of cheese mixed with the spinach and artichokes.
If you are looking for a lighter option for your Super Bowl Party spread, this Skinny Spinach Artichoke Dip is a perfect recipe for you. It’ll be a hit! 
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- ⅓ cup Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup Parmesan-Reggiano cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 10 ounces frozen spinach, thawed and drained of moisture
- 10 ounce jar marinated artichoke quarters, drained and coarsely chopped
- ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Using a hand mixer, blend together the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, Parmesan-Reggiano cheese, and garlic cloves.
- Make sure all of the water has been pressed out of your spinach. Add the spinach and chopped artichoke hearts to the cheese mixture.
- Transfer the mixture to a small baking dish and top with the shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is bubbling and starting to brown, 20-30 minutes. Serve hot. Enjoy!

I’m with you. During the week I tell myself how bad cheese is for me so I avoid it like the plague, but when it comes to parties or wine tasting, I can’t avoid cheese. It’s just too good to cut out for good!

I’m going to a party with 8 adults and 6 little kids age 3-6. I’m wondering if I should double recipe . can I just double recipe and put in larger baking dish?
Yes, you can double the recipe and put it in a larger baking dish. I’m not sure you’ll need to double it, though. I guess it just depends on how much other food there will be.
