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!

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.
Is the parmeson reggiano sliced pieces? Trying to figure out why it looks like layers, and some are toasted on top.
Hi Marcel! No, it doesn’t have sliced pieces. I’m not sure why it looked layered, but the top is browned from baking in the oven. Maybe you are seeing the pieces of artichoke that look like cheese?
