92nd Birthday Veggie Dip
My stepmother wanted to make appetizers that everyone could eat, so she asked me for a recipe for veggie dip. This one was a big hit with the crowd.
1 carton fat free sour cream
1 package frozen spinach, thawed and drained
1 can artichoke hearts, drained
Nonfat mozzarella (she couldn't find the nonfat call, so she used parmesean instead for the top, which was also good)
If you can find the nonfat mozzarella, blend two ounces of that with the rest of the ingredients in the food processor until smooth. Chill well. Just before serving, top with a layer of fat free mozza, and microwave for just long enough to slightly melt the cheese.
This dip was obviously inspired by TJI Friday's spinach artichoke dip, a dip that I've seen on the menu at so many chain restaurants that it must be a classic. The original, full fat version is loaded with calories, where this one is surprising low cal, and I think tastes just as good as the original.
