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.
