Lighten Up Spinach Dip Recipe Solanaceae / All my dishes

This is a much lighter version of a classic party favorite. While it's not as heavy as its traditional counterpart, it doesn't skimp on flavor. We serve this with tortilla chips but I have also served this as a sidedish.

Lighten up?? LOL. Let's see, butter, buttermilk, whole milk, cheese, cheese, cheese... I love it. Very similar to the one I fix. And I do crave spinach dip all the time. Probably the only way I like cooked spinach.

Believe it or not while it may not be lighter in calories, it is much lighter and does not sit heavy in your stomach like it's traditional counterpart. I have served both as a side dish with dinner and the regulars here agree this version just isn't as heavy. Glad you like the recipe! I crave this regularly too but I am a spinach junkie! lol
