Ingredients

• 4 cups Fresh spinach
• 1 cup Artichoke hearts (canned in water, drained and chopped)
• 1 cup Fat-free plain Greek yogurt
• 4 ounces Neufchâtel cheese (light cream cheese, softened)
• 3 ounces Shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 teaspoons Minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat, allow the spinach to cool slightly, then squeeze out excess water using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Roughly chop the spinach if needed.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, Neufchâtel cheese, 2 ounces of mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Mix until smooth and well-incorporated.

Step 5

Fold in the wilted spinach and chopped artichoke hearts until evenly combined.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to a small oven-safe baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1 ounce of mozzarella cheese on top.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and the top is lightly golden.

Step 8

Serve hot with baked pita chips, whole-grain crackers, or vegetable sticks for dipping. Enjoy your lighter, healthier spinach and artichoke dip!
