SPINACH-PARMESAN DIP
At first, the spinach will seem to overflow in the skillet, but keep stirring--as it begins to wilt, it reduces in volume. Serve this creamy spinach-parmesan dip with your choice of vegies or hearty wheat crackers.
( Worthy of a special occasion)
Yield: 2 cups (serving size: 1/4 cup)
Ingredients
1 teaspoon olive oil
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (10-ounce) package fresh spinach
1/2 cup basil leaves, loosely packed
1/3 cup (about 3 ounces) 1/3-less-fat cream cheese, softened
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup plain fat-free yogurt
1/4 cup (1 ounce) grated fresh Parmesan cheese
Preparation
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic; sauté 1 minute. Add salt and spinach; sauté 3 minutes or until the spinach wilts. Place spinach mixture in a colander, pressing until mixture is barely moist.
Place spinach mixture, basil, cream cheese, and pepper in a food processor; process until smooth. Spoon spinach mixture into a medium bowl. Add yogurt and Parmesan; stir to combine. Chill. —
