Artichoke Dip

Ingredients

1 cup chopped frozen artichoke hearts, thawed and diced

1/2 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed

2 tbsp water

4 oz reduced-fat cream cheese

4 oz Greek yogurt

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tbsp low-fat milk

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1 pinch ground black pepper

Directions

Combine diced artichoke hearts and chopped spinach in a microwave-safe bowl with 2 tablespoons of water, cover bowl with plastic and poke a few holes in it to vent.  Microwave vegetables on high for 6 minutes.  Combine remaining ingredients in a small saucepan. Add the artichokes and spinach and cook over medium/low heat, stirring often for 10 minutes or until simmering.  Just before serving, broil the dip in an oven-safe dish for 1 to 2 minutes (on high) or just until slightly brown on top.  Serve with crackers, toasted bread, pita chips or raw vegetables.
