HEALTHY SPINACH DIP

Steps:

• Place spinach in a colander and defrost for at least 8 hours or overnight. Alternatively you could use a microwave.
• Using your hands, squeeze as much water out as possible and transfer to a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Preheat ceramic non-stick skillet on medium heat and swirl oil to coat. Add onion, 2 minced garlic cloves and carrot; sauté for 7 minutes or until translucent, stirring occasionally.
• Transfer to a bowl with spinach along with yogurt, mayo, salt and pepper.
• Stir well to mix and add grated garlic to taste. If have time, refrigerate for a few hours to let flavours "marry" each other.
• Serve with pretzel chips or brown rice crackers.

LOW FAT SPINACH DIP POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Cook the baby new potatoes and let them cool slightly. I do this by steaming them for 30 minutes in my electric steamer but you could boil them too.
• While the potatoes cook and cool, defrost the frozen spinach and squeeze out all the excess liquid.
• In a large bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients and stir really well to fully combine. Use a good amount of seasoning since there is a lot of moisture going into this recipe. However, judge how much salt you need based on how salty your bullion powder is because it can be rather salty.
• Stir the spinach into the bowl just to combine with the mayo and yoghurt mixture.
• Cut the baby potatoes in half width wise and fold into the spinach mixture.
• Cover and cool in the fridge for at least an hour to allow the flavours to develop.
• Take out of the fridge, give a good stir and serve.

• Add roasted bell pepper and Parmesan cheese and pulse until creamy.
• To bake dip: Place mixture into prepared baking dish; add spinach and stir until combined.
• Bake for 25 minutes, stirring half way through.
• Dip is done when browned and bubbly around the edges.
• To keep warm, lower temperature in oven to 250F and stir every 10 minutes until dip is served.
• For microwave directions: Place mixture into microwave safe dish (1.5-2qt), add spinach and stir until combined.
• Cover with plastic wrap, leaving room for steam to escape.

LOW FAT SPINACH ONION DIP

Steps:

• Cook frozen spinach until done, about 5 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Melt butter or margarine in a frying pan. Add chopped onion and saute on medium low for about 5-7 minutes. Add the 1/4 tsp salt while sauteing. (This can be done while spinach is cooking. This way you will save cooking time.) Cool completely.
• Combine both to a medium bowl and add yogurt, mayonnaise, basil parsley, and garlic powder. Combine well. At this point add salt and pepper for taste. (you don't need to add too much salt as salt was added to the onions. I used another 1/4 tsp of salt at this point).
• Let chill for at least 30 minutes before serving in order to let the flavours blend.
