Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup low fat cottage cheese small curd
- 8 oz spinach frozen, thawed and drained
- 6 oz artichokes in water, drained
- ½ cup skim mozzarella shredded
- 2 tablespoons parmesan
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together the cottage cheese and Greek yogurt until smooth.
- Drain the spinach in a colander then place it in a dishcloth or paper towels and ring out the excess water very well. Drain and dice the artichokes.
- Add the spinach and artichokes to the mixing bowl with the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper and mozzarella. You can reserve a little mozzarella for the top. Sprinkle the parmesan and any reserved mozzarella on top.
- Bake 25 minutes then set the broiler to high and broil 5 minutes to give the dip a nice brown top!
- Serve immediately with raw veggies, gluten free crackers or chips.
- Keep in the refrigerator up to 4 days. Reheat at 350 for 15-20 minutes in the oven or in the microwave 5-10 minutes.
Notes
- Drain the Spinach Well: Be sure to thaw and drain the spinach thoroughly to avoid excess moisture and maintain the dip’s creamy consistency.
- Adjust Consistency: For a creamier texture, simply adjust the amount of yogurt or add more cottage cheese based on your preference.
- Storing Leftovers: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator. Reheat in the oven or microwave, and enjoy again!
