No good Southern Baptist get together would be complete without “that spinach dip with the water chestnuts” that one of the church ladies always brings. My sister aspires to be the little old lady that feeds the masses so she always brings it to family get togethers too.
This simple veggie dip is a favorite at our house, so glad we can get a protein punch for zero points and start enjoying it again!
Ingredients
1/2 cup nonfat plain greek yogurt
1 Tbsp fat free mayo (optional to taste)
2 Tbsp Knorr dry Vegetable Recipe Mix
1/5 block (approximately 1/3 cup after you squeeze the water out) from spinach thawed
1/4 cup chopped water chestnuts
Instructions
cut off approximately 1/5 of the frozen block of spinach and set aside to thaw
chop water chestnuts
after spinach is thawed squeeze as much of the water out as you can. Pro Tip: use a paper towel to squeeze so your hands don’t turn green!
mix all ingredients together and chill before serving
Notes
The flavors are actually a little more blended if you let sit in the fridge overnight. Lasts approximately 3 days refrigerated.
Tastes great with carrot, cucumber or celery sticks…don’t forget to add points if you enjoy with crackers. (shown with Trader Joe’s Savory Thin Edamame Chips, 38 chips for 3 FSP)
Enjoy!
