Bring this hot spinach and artichoke dip to your next football party, no one will know it's light!
Football season is here! I usually like to make my Skinny Buffalo Wings, along with one of my many meatball recipes such as Swedish Meatballs, Southwest Turkey Meatballs, or Asian Turkey Meatballs. I also have tons of fabulous Skinny Dip options for your to bring to your next football party!
This is easy to prepare ahead of time, then throw it in the oven when you are ready to eat. I served this with Pretzel Crisps, but baked chips would also be great.

This looks so good. I will definitely be making this recipe!
ReplyDeleteWOW that looks so good!! Artichoke dip is one of my favorite things but I haven't had it in forever because it is usually so loaded with calories. I'm trying this version for sure!!
ReplyDeleteOMG, spinach artichoke dip is one of my faves...
ReplyDeleteOMG one of my *all time* favorite dips... will be using this for the next football party :)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love spinach and artichoke dip!! Thanks for sharing this recipe ... I can't wait to try it!
ReplyDeleteGina, you are my hero!!!! I love spinach artichoke dip more than anything! So excited to try a lightened up version :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks great! Any substitue for the freel yogurt? We have some lactose sensitive people in our family That could probably handle the cheese but not yogurt. Can't wait to try it!
ReplyDeleteThere are equally good soy yogurts, as well as lactose free yogurt made by the same folks that make the lactose free milk.
DeleteWe love this recipe, but we kick it up a bit w/some tabasco, which also makes it yummy!
ReplyDeleteHope you all enjoy! If you like it hot I bet chopped jalapeño would be good in there!
ReplyDeleteIn place of the yogurt for lactose intolerant, I would replace it with more mayo but this wwill increase the points and fat.
I love artichoke spinach dip! If I was going to be home this weekend I would be making it. I will before the end of the month for sure, though!
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed that you made a light version of spinach artichoke dip!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so GOOD and warm ... apparently, it's too cold in the office right now! haha.
ReplyDeleteErin- it doesn't taste light!
ReplyDeleteLiz- I hate that! lol
Yummo! Can't wait to make this for upcoming parties! It looks DELISH...
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing! I love spinach and artichoke dip. Making it healthy.. even better!
ReplyDeleteI was just wondering last night as I sat screaming at my TV whether or not you would have any light tailgate/party foods on here and popped in to have a peek this morning and I see this delicious looking artichoke dip (which is exactly the recipe I was hoping to find!) Go team!
ReplyDeleteHow would it work to serve this in a crock pot? Thanks for all the delish recipes!
ReplyDeleteCan I use fresh baby spinach? I have a last minute potluck tomorrow and this sounds great, but I only have fresh baby spinach in the big pack from Costco.
ReplyDeletelightly steam the fresh spinach first for about 5 min. in a steamer pan over hot water, then allow to drain before adding to remaining ingredients, & it will probably taste even better, cuz of fresher ingredients.
DeleteThanks for making one of my favorite FOODS light! Love it!
ReplyDeleteOh yum! I love this dip and I'm excited to make your lighter version. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love artichoke-spinach dip! You have saved my life! And my thighs!
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy. I always make mine with Neufchatel cheese, will have to try it with Greek yogurt next time!
ReplyDeleteThis might be a silly question but would this be good cold? I would love to take it to a tailgate on Saturday but we will be outside and I won't have access to an oven...thanks for all the great recipes!
ReplyDeletePiglet- a crockpot would be great!
ReplyDeleteKimberly- If you cook the baby spinach, sure why not!
Natalie- I think this is better hot. I do have a recipe for cold spinach dip on here, I suggestaking that and adding some artichokes.
This looks just as delicious as the high fat/cream cheese filled version that I usually make! Saving this recipe for the next time I have people over!
ReplyDelete- Maggie
I love the idea of using fat free Greek yogurt for this! I just found fat free Greek yogurt last weekend and couldn't love it more. It's so thick and creamy. Great work with this! I'm so happy I found your blog, I've really enjoyed your recipes over the past couple days :)
ReplyDeletemmmm I have made this with cream cheese etc...the full fat version and love it....love the idea of greek yogurt my new food find! I do use roasted garlic though...great addition!
ReplyDeleteEveryone's favourite around here; love this recipe with healthier version.
ReplyDeleteRita
Does this mean I can eat the whole bowl?? :)
ReplyDeleteThis is the perfect recipe! It doesn't get much better than this!
ReplyDeletedelicious dip...
ReplyDeleteWOW! YUM YUM!! That looks soooooo good!
ReplyDeleteArtichoke dip is one of my favorite things but I haven't had it in forever because it is usually so loaded with calories. I'm trying this version for sure!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited to try this! I love eating spinach dip at restaurants like Chili's and Applebees but I'm sure that this will be not only healthier but also tastier. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI have a big problem with Mayo. Is there anything I could substitute instead?
ReplyDeleteJust made some last night for lunch today to share with my friends...just tasted it - YUM!!!
ReplyDeleteYUM!
ReplyDeleteMade this today--it is DELICIOUS! Made no changes.
ReplyDeleteYou're the master of reducing and lightening things up, Gina! This looks great. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBest,
Gloria
Looks so good! I was actually looking Saturday on this site for this dip for the game on Sunday. This Sunday it is! Thanks <3

ReplyDeleteI love you for making a spinach and artichoke dip that doesn't have cream cheese in it! I love the stuff, but my boyfriend won't touch it. Thank you! This one will definitely be front and center at our next party!
ReplyDeleteJJ, in place of mayo use more yogurt.
ReplyDeleteGina -- can you give me an option to replace the Parm Regg? I love it, don't get me wrong, but it's SO expensive at our local grocery store.
ReplyDeletePecorino Romano is my second choice and less expensive. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteLove this alternative to the fattening version that I make all the time.
ReplyDeleteGina, I just had to tell you that I made this recipe for my husbands dental school cooking competition last week and we won the appetizer round! I added some milk and a little extra parm. and moz. cheese so that it could be kept in the crock pot instead of baked and it was a hit..obviously :)(they will never know it was a skinny recipe!) Thanks for all the great recipes!
ReplyDeleteI made this tonight and it was delicious! I made the full recipe but only baked half of it, since it was just my husband and I. Do you think the rest could be frozen? If I do freeze it, should I bake it first?
ReplyDeleteThis was AMAZING. I used sour cream instead of greek yogurt (even though it increased calories and fat) and served with a baguette. Was the perfect afternoon football snack.
ReplyDeleteI made this last night and was a winner. Everyone wants the recipe!
ReplyDeleteThis made a great appetizer for our Thanksgiving. I only baked 1/2 of it for just the two of us. This morning, I turned 1/4 cup of it into baked eggs florentine for only 4 points! It was heavenly!
ReplyDeleteI love this recipe! I tried it yesterday and it was seriously the best thing to eat while watching a football game. I'm going to blog about it tonight and have a link to your post soon!
ReplyDeletehttp://justrainbowsandbutterflys.blogspot.com/
do you think you can put this in a crock pot to take it to a party and keep it warm?
ReplyDeleteMade this last night- crazy good! I loved the texture- very fluffy and creamy. Will DEFINITELY make again.
ReplyDeleteI had some baby spinach in the fridge that was getting ready to hit it's expiration date, even though this one calls for frozen spinach, I decided to give it a whirl. I tossed the entire fridge bag of spinach in the bowl and since I was in a hurry, I didn't even cook it first. After combining everything, I put it in the oven. for the first 15 minutes of cooking I did pull it every 5 min. or so in order to stir to compensate for how much the spinach cooks down.
ReplyDeleteIn the end I still had an absolutely delightful dip that was SO good!! I am guessing it turned out a little looser than if I had followed exactly but the taste was still all there. Thanks for another great one Gina!!
I made this for a couple of parties I recently attended and it was yummo!
ReplyDelete:)
I'm making this dip for my sisters shower tomorrow and all they have is a microwave. I was going to bake it ahead of time and then put it in the microwave to heat it up. Would this be ok to do?
ReplyDeleteRemarkable! I love this recipe so much! I made it yesterday with my mom and we both loved the taste. Thanks!! We will be making this again on my dad’s birthday. Hope he likes it! We also tried the recipes at www.gourmandia.com and www.gourmetrecipe.com and the outcome turned what we imagined, the cuisines are mouth-watering. Take time to glance those sites for more interesting recipes.
ReplyDeleteI made this for New Year's Eve and it was a big hit! Thanks for the recipes! When my friends ask, I love to say it's a skinnytaste recipe!
ReplyDeleteGina i do not eat mayonnaise.. What can i substitute for the mayonnaise without increasing calories?
ReplyDeleteWow! I have tried several "regular" recipes for spinach artichoke dip and have never been satisfied. Who would have thought a lighter version was what I needed! Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteThis recipe is incredible. I never make any other versions since I found it. Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteIf I have fresh artichokes, how could I use those in this recipe?
ReplyDeleteI made this for Eastern since I dislike mayo so much I doubled fat free Greek yogurt and I hate to say it was not good at all. sadly you really need the mayo to keep it creamy. It came out more like curd. is there anything else that can be used to make it a little more creamier?
ReplyDeleteYou don't taste the mayo, I wouldn't skip it.

ReplyDeleteI'm making this recipe for work tomorrow & I can't wait to try it! Your recipes never disappoint!
ReplyDeleteI made this a couple of months ago and it was fantastic. I couldn't stop eating it. Thankfully, I wasn't on a diet of any kind. Now that I am, I think I'll be halving the recipe for the hubs and I so we don't overdo it. It was that good. Mouth-watering right now.
ReplyDeleteI made this for a party and had some left over. So I saved it and used it the next day as the stuffing with your Chicken Rollatini Stuffed with Zucchini and Mozzarella recipe. DELICIOUS!
ReplyDeleteMade it tonight. Fabulous! I had a double serving with some whole wheat pita chips and a side of shrimp cocktail for dinner, and am completely happy.
ReplyDeleteI bought shredded parmesan cheese instead of Parmigiano Reggiano will it still taste good?
ReplyDeleteMade this tonight with pecorino romano instead of parmigiano reggiano (it was what I had). It was delicious!
ReplyDeleteI made this tonight with parmesan cheese... tasted great! Will make again. Thanks Gina!
ReplyDeleteSo so yummy! everyone loved it and it is so addicting! Definitely saving this recipe!
ReplyDeleteMade this tonight - sooo good and addictive! I might try using fresh spinach next time but this was awesome! Just as good, if not better than what I've had in restaurants.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great recipe. My family absolutely loved it! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis was such a hit last night while we watched the Pats vs. Broncos! My boyfriend said next time I should double the recipe!
ReplyDeleteI have made so many of your recipes and they have all been delicious! Thanks for sharing such great recipes!
I have been looking for a greek yogurt spinach and artichoke recipe. I discovered you on Pinterest and have pinned about 100 recipes of yours, LOL!!
ReplyDeleteWow! We are enjoying this while watching the world series! It is delicious! Eating it with bagel chips. I probably should be having it with carrots and celery, maybe next time! But it tastes so good! I will make this again soon!
ReplyDeleteI like to substitute crushed up Triscuits instead of bread crumbs when I can, and it worked wonderfully as the topping for this fabulous dip. Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteMade this last Sunday for the football game and it was a huge hit! Great recipe, thanks for posting! Will definitely be making this again :).
ReplyDeleteIs this crockpot friendly? What would be the cook time and the setting?
ReplyDeleteI just served this tonight for some friends and it was great!!! Definitely a lot of flavor without feeling as heavy as full fat spinach-artichoke dip. Everyone at the party kept asking when I can make it again--thanks for the awesome recipe!
ReplyDeleteMade this dip last night, very quick & easy to make, absolutely delicious!
ReplyDeleteI have made this dish twice for different events and went home with an empty dish both times! This is becoming a staple!
ReplyDeleteThis is, I believe, the 4th recipe of yours I've given a go and I am, yet again, amazed at how good it is. You have enlightened me to the truth that delicious, hearty food CAN be made using healthful ingredients and without ridiculously high calorie counts. I am so very thankful to have stumbled upon your site (thanks, Pinterest!) and truly look forward to each new recipe I try. Thank you for putting your food out there for all of us to enjoy. I will rave about you to anyone who'll listen!
ReplyDeleteOMG, I am eating it raw waiting for my oven to preheat and it is awesome already! I also rolled it up in chicken breasts. Can't wait to eat tonight. YUM!!!!
ReplyDeleteI made this over the weekend and it was so yummy! Tasted just like the full-fat version. The only change I made was, I used a 10-oz can of artichoke hearts (not 13.5 oz) packed in oil, not water, since that's all the store had. Definitely making it for the Superbowl! Thanks for another great recipe.
ReplyDeleteMade this dip for a pot luck last night and it was a hit! I followed the recipe to a T and it turned out delicious:) Pretty sure no one knew it was low fat! I did not add any additional salt or pepper and there was plenty of taste to it
ReplyDeleteHow well would this work in a crockpot? Would I need to modify anything?
ReplyDeleteCould I substitute 1/3 fat cream cheese for the light mayo? I cannot stand mayo, or knowing it is in my dip!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I made this last night and my family loved it! Spin dip is my all time favorite snack and this skinny version was perfect!!
ReplyDeleteMade this yesterday to take to a Super Bowl Party and everybody LOVED it, including myself. Served it with RF Wheat thins, and it was so yummy!! Didn't feel guilty about eating it and you did not miss the heavy cream cheese. Another winner...thanks
ReplyDeleteMade this last week and forgot to take off my Rolex watch! It didn't fare so well, but the food was awesome.
