Everyone in my family loves hot artichoke dip. What is not to love, really, about a dish so creamy, so cheesy, and so replete with garlic… especially when it’s right out of the oven.<\/p>\n

Because it is<\/em> so creamy and cheesy (most recipes call for mayonnaise or sour cream, as well as cream cheese and several types of shredded cheese), hot artichoke dip is generally not very healthy. It isn’t something I would typically make; it’s one of those foods I would seek out at parties (and believe me, I’d get pretty sad if there was none).<\/p>\n

The impetus to attempt a healthier version of this dip came from my kids. As I mentioned before, they just love this dish, and I am all for something that inspires them to eat raw vegetables with gusto. In my home, I serve this as an appetizer with organic corn chips and\/or rice crackers, but I also put out lots of crudites: we particularly like it with baby carrots, sliced cucumbers, and red pepper strips.<\/p>\n

This version is chunky and heavy on the garlic. It still contains cheese, but cuts down on the fat a bit and ups the good-for-you factor by using Greek yogurt and no mayonnaise, sour cream, or cream cheese. It might not be as creamy or rich as artichoke dip recipes you’ve tried in the past, but it’s still delicious…and can be enjoyed without feeling guilty at your next get-together. I’m not a football fan but I believe the Superbowl is coming up, right?!<\/p>\n
