No one will ever suspect that this creamy party classic is lower in fat than the much loved original. The combination of artichoke hearts, spinach and Parmesan cheese gives it great flavor. The best part is, when its a healthy spinach artichoke dip, you can get seconds! —Michelle Wentz of Fort Polk, Louisiana
