Skinny Spinach Dip

Are you ready for the last of the holiday parties? After a week of letting yourself indulge in treats, you are probably searching for a healthy, but delicious, the snack you can contribute to the New Years party. This spinach dip has been a favorite in my family for nearly 30 years and with a few simple tweaks, it becomes a high-protein, low-calorie appetizer. Same taste, same texture, and healthier ingredients.
