    This is sooo good. Try making it and then mixing it with cooked pasta and grape tomatoes than bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes to mix all together. You’re welcome. LOL

    love the healthy version!! but we aren’t big greek yogurt fans….is there an obvious / distinct taste of greek yogurt in the final product?

      Hi Sj, there is not! It’s a great base for the dip, but you will not taste it as we used plain yogurt. I hope you give this recipe a try soon!

    Overall this isn’t bad, but for some reason mine ended up suuuuper water. I had to carefully drain the liquid off, and I decided to throw some mozzarella on top and throw it in the oven to 1) get rid of the excess liquid I couldn’t get out and 2) make it look pretty and add another element of flavor.

      That is most likely due to not draining the spinach enough. The extra water would cause it to be blander.

    This is FANTASTIC! I have been craving this but healthy and this recipe is perfect. I substituted jalapenos with green chilies because I am not a fan and did not miss them. I even used it to top a homemade thin crust margarita pizza I made and it was divine.

    I have made both the regular version of the dip and this skinny dip. It is delicious both ways, I don’t miss any of the delicious flavor with the substitutions. I made the recipe exactly as it is. I highly recommend this for any time you were having guests over or just craving some delicious spinach artichoke dip.

      Hi Anush, I haven’t really had it in the fridge longer than a few days before it got eaten. I imagine no longer than a week, but it’s best fresh 🙂

      Hi Marian, You can absolutely leave out the jalapeños. They just add a nice kick to the dip, but it will still taste great without them.

    What are the nirtition facts for this recipe? How much is ONE serving? Calories? Fat? We made this last night. It was amazing – but we are eating clean and healthy and trying to loose weight. Help us out here please.

      Hello Jill, we are working on adding nutrition labels and metric measurements on all of our recipes. It’s a slow process since it is one recipe at a time. Until all of the recipes are updated, check out this nutrition analyzer – you can plug in the ingredients from any recipe, select the serving size and it will give you nutritional info, calories, etc. I hope that is helpful to you!

    Hi Natasha!

    I wasn’t able to find 1/3 Fat Cream Cheese so I got regular. Should I use less Parmesan cheese in the recipe or just substitute the regular cream cheese for the fat free or use less?

    I’m not quite sure I’m not too versed in cooking techniques and how to substitute!

      Hi Emma, you are absolutely welcome to use the full fat cream cheese. This skinny dip was the low fat version of our original super popular spinach and artichoke dip.

      Hi Shoghine, I’ve done a similar recipe with fresh spinach and I wilted it first in a clean pot and set it in a colander to drain off any liquid before adding it to the dip. It also helps to coarsely chop it if the leaves are larger to make it more dip friendly
