Super Bowl Munchies: Spinach Dip

For a recent game night, I tried out a new spinach dip.

The base is pureed white beans -- and no, you can't really tell that's the base. Rather, you taste the garlic, spinach, and a hint of lemon.





The dip is creamy, and tasted great served cold or warm.  I divided the recipe in half; served half cold with veggies, and warmed the other half in the toaster oven until bubbly.  I sprinkled a layer of cheese atop the half that I baked... yum!





It would be an excellent {and healthier} addition to your Super Bowl Menu; perfect with Bagel Crisps.





Healthy Spinach Dip - Finding Joy in My Kitchen



1 can great white northern beans

1 T milk

1 heaping T sour cream

1/4 C spinach (I used frozen, cooked and drained)

2 T minced onion

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 T Parmesan cheese

salt and pepper, to taste

1 tsp. lemon juice



Begin by pureeing the beans, garlic, milk, lemon juice and minced onion together in a blender.





Add salt and pepper, and continue pureeing until smooth.





Add in the sour cream and spinach, along with the Parmesan cheese.





Pulse a few times to blend well.





Serve cold aside fresh veggies, or warm up the dip in the toaster oven or oven until bubbly; serve with crackers, bagel crisps or pitas.
