LOW FAT SPINACH AND ARTICHOKE DIP
I love spinach and artichoke dip, but hate the fat... I came up with this fast and easy recipe that tastes great, is easy to put together, low in fat but big on taste! Flavored with roasted red peppers and Parmesan cheese, no yicky mayo here! Makes enough for a large crowd. Can be made in the microwave for even faster preparation. Also delicious served cold. Note: recipe can be made with fat-free marinade artichokes, I usually buy two small jars, adds a little extra zing! WW points = 1/serving

THE BEST SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP
This is our best version of the classic party dip. It's savory and creamy with a slight tang from sour cream and Parmesan -- so hard to resist. We like to use frozen whole leaf spinach and chop it ourselves for more control over the finished texture of the dish.

Steps:
- Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a 1-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Put the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise and garlic in a large bowl. Mix vigorously until combined and smooth. (If you prefer, you can use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.) Add the spinach to the cream cheese mixture, breaking it up as you add it. Add the artichokes, mozzarella and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan, mixing to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and top with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.
- Bake until the dip begins to bubble, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn the oven to broil and continue to cook, keeping an eye on it so it doesn't burn, until the top is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Serve warm with crackers, chips or toasted bread.
HOT ARTICHOKE-SPINACH DIP
"One taste of this outrageously delicious dip and your guests will not stop eating it until it's gone," promises Michelle Krzmarzick from Torrance, California. "The savory blend of artichokes, spinach and Parmesan cheese is positively addictive! It taste even better if you make it the night before and chill it in the fridge before baking."

HOT ARTICHOKE AND SPINACH DIP II
This dip is amazing -- so cheesy and fragrant. If you don't like artichokes, don't worry -- you'll never know they're in there! My only question is: Is it okay to just eat it with a spoon right out of the dish?

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh artichokes and spinach have the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh artichokes, you can use frozen or canned artichoke hearts.
- Don't overcook the artichokes: Artichokes should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight crunch. Overcooked artichokes will be mushy.
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this dip, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. A sharp cheddar cheese or a creamy Gruyère cheese are both good choices.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: Feel free to add other ingredients to this dip to your liking. Some popular additions include diced red bell pepper, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, or crumbled bacon.
- Serve the dip warm: This dip is best served warm. You can either serve it immediately after making it, or you can reheat it in the oven or microwave before serving.
Conclusion:
This low-fat hot artichoke and spinach dip is a delicious and healthy appetizer that is perfect for parties or gatherings. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious appetizer, give this dip a try!
