Spinach Artichoke Dip

A manager at my center made an Artichoke Spinach Dip that was to die for. It tastes just like the real thing and I served it to guests at a get-together and they loved it. They had no idea it was healthy - hehe.

Spinach Artichoke Dip

3 cups low-fat cottage cheese
12oz frozen spinach (thawed and water squeezed out)
1 packet of Hidden Valley Ranch mix (powder form)
1 cup grated low-fat parmesan cheese
1 small can of water chestnuts
1 jar of artichoke hearts
1 tsp minced garlic clove (optional)
1 tbsp water

Directions

In blender, blend the cottage cheese, garlic, ranch mix and water till very smooth consistency. May add more water if needed.

Poor into mixing bowl and add thawed spinach.

Dice the water chestnuts and cut the artichoke hearts to preferred pieces.

Add the parmesan cheese, water chestnuts, and artichoke hearts.

Serve with melba toast or fresh cut veggies.

Makes 4-6 servings - remember if eating with melba toast rounds only for dinner and stay within 40-50 calories.

Hope you like this one!
