Ingredients
- 6 cups Fresh spinach
- 1 cup Hearts of palm, chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Greek yogurt, plain (non-fat or low-fat)
- 4 oz Low-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash and dry the fresh spinach. Roughly chop it into manageable pieces.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and minced garlic, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet in batches if needed. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until it wilts down completely. Remove from the skillet and slightly cool. Squeeze out excess liquid from the spinach using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 4
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 5
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Step 6
Fold in the cooked spinach and chopped hearts of palm, ensuring the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 7
Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased oven-safe dish. Spread the top evenly using a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and slightly golden on top.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm with your choice of sliced vegetables, whole-grain crackers, or toasted baguette slices.
