This Healthy Spinach & Artichoke Dip is the best better-for-you appetizer recipe!  It is cheesy, creamy, and full of savory goodness but is made lighter with a few healthy swaps.  Made with greek yogurt and whipped cream cheese, this easy baked dip is perfect served with chips, raw veggies, and more!

Ingredients

  • non fat greek yogurt
    1 c
  • whipped cream cheese
    12 oz
  • canned artichoke hearts
    14 oz
  • frozen spinach
    10 oz
  • grated parmesan cheese
    ¼ c
  • shredded parmesan cheese
    ¼ c
  • shredded mozzarella cheese
    ½ c
  • garlic powder
    2 tsp
  • salt
    ½ tsp
  • pepper

Directions

  1. 1

    Set the oven to 350 degrees.

  2. 2

    Thaw the frozen spinach.  I like to place the spinach in a strainer and run it under hot water.  This thaws the spinach and also allows you to squeeze out the excess water through the strainer.

  3. 3

    Drain and chop the artichoke hearts.

  4. 4

    Combine the greek yogurt, whipped cream cheese, spinach, and chopped artichoke hearts.  Also stir in the grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Transfer the dip to a large baking dish.  Top with the shredded parmesan and mozzarella cheese.

  6. 6

    Bake for 20 minutes.  Broil on high for 2-3 minutes, watching closely so it doesn’t burn.

  7. 7

    Serve with tortilla chips & raw veggies.  Enjoy!

About this Recipe

What sets this recipe apart is its ingenious use of non-fat Greek yogurt and whipped cream cheese.

You'll find yourself enjoying a better-for-you appetizer that still tastes incredibly indulgent and satisfying, all while being remarkably easy to prepare.

Prepare for a dip that's wonderfully warm and bubbly, with tender bits of flavorful spinach and savory artichoke hearts mingling in a luscious, cheesy base.

It’s a sophisticated yet comforting appetizer that feels decadent, yet you'll appreciate its lighter profile, leaving you feeling good after every bite.

Customization & Serving Suggestions

While fantastic as is, feel free to adjust the cheese blend to your liking; a touch of shredded provolone could add another layer of flavor if you desire. For those who prefer a little warmth, a small pinch of red pepper flakes stirred in before baking would add a subtle kick. You could also easily swap the Parmesan varieties for other hard, salty cheeses.

This healthy appetizer is perfect for game day gatherings, casual get-togethers, or as a welcome addition to any party spread. Serve it warm and bubbly directly from the oven with your favorite sturdy tortilla chips, an array of crisp raw vegetables like bell peppers, carrot sticks, and cucumber slices, or even toasted pita bread for dipping.
