Creamy Feta-Spinach Dip

We've updated the classic spinach dip by adding tangy feta and omitting the artichokes and much of the fat.

Yield: 2 cups (serving size: 1/4 cup)

Ingredients

• 1  (8-ounce) carton plain low-fat yogurt
• 3/4  cup  (3 ounces) crumbled feta cheese
• 1/4  cup  (2 ounces) 1/3-less-fat cream cheese, softened
• 1/4  cup  low-fat sour cream
• 1  garlic clove, crushed
• 1 1/2  cups  finely chopped spinach
• 1  tablespoon  minced fresh or 1 teaspoon dried dill
• 1/8  teaspoon  black pepper
• Fresh Dill (optional)

Preparation

Spoon yogurt onto several layers of heavy-duty paper towels; spread to 1/2-inch thickness. Cover with additional paper towels, and let stand 5 minutes. Scrape into the bowl of a food processor using a rubber spatula. Add the cheeses, sour cream, and garlic, and process until smooth, scraping sides of bowl once. Spoon yogurt mixture into a medium bowl, and stir in the spinach, minced dill, and pepper. Cover and chill. Garnish with fresh dill, if desired.
