Best Low Fat Spinach Dip

 

 

 

One of the most popular dips for a party or get-together is spinach dip, which is usually high in fat. The classic recipe is a mix of sour cream and mayonnaise. To lower the fat content but still maintain flavor, I’m using fat-free versions of yogurt and cream cheese. You’ll have an easy dip without all the fat, but it still tastes great.
