Low Fat Spinach Dip Potato Salad Recipes

HEALTHY SPINACH DIP

Steps:

• Place spinach in a colander and defrost for at least 8 hours or overnight. Alternatively you could use a microwave.
• Using your hands, squeeze as much water out as possible and transfer to a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Preheat ceramic non-stick skillet on medium heat and swirl oil to coat. Add onion, 2 minced garlic cloves and carrot; sauté for 7 minutes or until translucent, stirring occasionally.
• Transfer to a bowl with spinach along with yogurt, mayo, salt and pepper.
• Stir well to mix and add grated garlic to taste. If have time, refrigerate for a few hours to let flavours "marry" each other.
• Serve with pretzel chips or brown rice crackers.

LOW FAT SPINACH DIP POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Cook the baby new potatoes and let them cool slightly. I do this by steaming them for 30 minutes in my electric steamer but you could boil them too.
• While the potatoes cook and cool, defrost the frozen spinach and squeeze out all the excess liquid.
• In a large bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients and stir really well to fully combine. Use a good amount of seasoning since there is a lot of moisture going into this recipe. However, judge how much salt you need based on how salty your bullion powder is because it can be rather salty.
• Stir the spinach into the bowl just to combine with the mayo and yoghurt mixture.
• Cut the baby potatoes in half width wise and fold into the spinach mixture.
• Cover and cool in the fridge for at least an hour to allow the flavours to develop.
• Take out of the fridge, give a good stir and serve.

WARM STEAK AND POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Place potatoes in medium-size saucepan and cover with cold water. Salt lightly. Bring to a boil and simmer 15-20 minutes until tender. Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet until crisp. Remove to paper toweling. Add onion to drippings and cook 3 minutes. Add sliced steak and salt. Cook 2 more minutes until steak is no longer pink. Remove steak and onions to a plate and keep warm.
• Add honey and vinegar to skillet; cook over medium heat 2 minutes. Add cornstarch mixture; cook for 30 seconds. Remove from heat.
• Drain potatoes; run under cold water. Cut into quarters and place in bowl along with the crumbled bacon and steak-onion mixture. Add baby spinach, warm honey cider-vinegar dressing and tomatoes. Toss gently and serve.

HEALTHY SPINACH DIP

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first 7 ingredients; stir in spinach. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving. Serve with vegetables.

HOT SPINACH AND ARTICHOKE DIP (LOWER-THAN-NORMAL-FAT)

Steps:

• Drain any liquid that may be sitting on top of the sour cream.
• Mix everything together well.
• Bake it at 350 degrees, stirring once or twice, until heated through (probably 40 minutes).
• If lazy, hungry, or just plain impatient, use the microwave (takes only a few minutes). This mix freezes well. There is no need to bake before freezing. You may want to freeze this recipe in four 2-cup containers (i. e. large plastic sour cream tubs)
• Serve with tortilla chips or pita.
