Easy, delicious and nutritious!
Easy, delicious and nutritious!

You don't have to fuss over appetizers at your next get-together when you make this dip. Literally throw everything needed in a slow-cooker, step away, and let it do all of the hard work. When this deliciously creamy and cheesy dip is finished, pour it into a serving bowl or keep it warm by serving it directly from the slow-cooker. Serve it with chips, crackers, or fresh bread for an appetizer everyone will love.

Ingredients:
10 ounce bag baby spinach, fresh or frozen
1 can (14 ounces) artichokes, drained and chopped
8 ounces sour cream
8 ounces cream cheese
1 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup feta
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Helpful Tip:
Create a light version by substituting skim milk, reduced fat sour cream, reduced fat cream cheese, and light mayonnaise.

Directions:

1. Place all ingredients in a slow-cooker. Mix well with a spoon until the ingredients are combined. Cook on high for 1 hour 30 minutes or on low for 2 hours and 30 minutes.

2. Stir and pour into a serving dish or set the slow-cooker to warm and serve out of the slow-cooker. Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, pita chips, or a sliced baguette.
