Ingredients

1 tablespoon canola oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
3 cloves garlic
1 (9-ounce) package artichoke hearts, defrosted, rinsed and dried
1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, defrosted, excess liquid squeezed out.
1/2 cup reduced fat sour cream
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/2 cup (4 ounces) Neufchatel cheese (reduced-fat cream cheese)
2 ounces (about 1/2 cup) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Heat the oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Add onions and cook stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook an additional 3 to 4 minutes, or until onions are light golden but not browned. Remove from heat and cool.

In the bowl of a food processor combine artichoke hearts, spinach, sour cream, mayonnaise, Neufchatel, mozzarella and salt and pepper. Process until smooth. Add cooled onion-garlic mixture to the food processor and pulse a few times to combine.

Transfer mixture into an 8-inch glass square baking dish or 9-inch glass pie plate which has been lightly sprayed with cooking spray. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until heated through. Serve with pita wedges or crudites.

A bit bland - needed jazzing up
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Overall, a good recipe. I used fresh spinach (conveniently on-hand)), reduced fat mayo and substitued the mild, part-skim... mozzarella with a baby swiss (again, on-hand). It was very bland. Added about 1/8 cup freshly-grated parmesan cheese and a 1/2 tsp. of red pepper flakes, and grated a bit more parmesan on the top before serving. It was an excellent dip, at that point.Read more

Dangerous ....
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I bought Ellie's book and have been cooking my way from cover to cover. Several of her recipes are new staples in our home... and are made on a weekly basis. I was also floored on how smaller my grocery bills have been this past month! The ingredients are usually things that you have on hand. I have made this dip over and over again, because I cant stop eating it! Then I make it and I have to split it in half and send half of it to work with my husband. I literally make it and know that I will probably finish the pan that day. Filled with so much spinach and artichokes instead of greasy mayo, oil, and cheese. You can taste the spinach and artichokes!! Thank you Ellie for over and over again creating dishes that are filling yet not filled with bad fat!Read more

An Easy Crowd Pleaser
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have very little cooking experience but I decided to try out this recipe for a potluck. Overall, it was very simple to... make and the ingredients are all easy to find too (I did substitute the suggested cream cheese for a regular cream cheese). My friends all thought it was absolutely delicious and I will for sure be making it again. Some of them even asked for the recipe they liked it so much!Read more

Not Bad!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This was my first attempt at a spinach dip and it was a little ambitious considering it was also my first time cutting a... fresh artichoke and using fresh spinach straight from my home garden and consequently cutting the recipe to a third (because I didn't have enough of the ingredients or enough people). It was still very good with relatively easy to make! I also used a splash of lemon (which keeps the artichoke fresh anyway), and some Parmesan on top. 4 stars because It still wasn't the best I've ever had and a little over-mixed, but definitely pretty good relative to the difficulty level. Next time I will probably try to mix without using the processor. Thanks so much for a solid recipe with enough room for a little improvisation. My toddler liked it too!Read more

Delicious and easy

This is a great tasting dip. It's not too heavy or filled with mayonnaise. I've brought this to several potlucks and everyone... loves itRead more

Throw away your OTHER recipe!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a very good recipe. While it still has some fat in it, tasteless w/o it, it has ALOT less than the traditional... recipe. Thanks Ellie for another great lower fat recipe!Read more
