Healthy Veggie Dip

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Albertsons Companies. The opinions and text are all mine.

I am always on the hunt for a new, healthy snack option and I’m so excited to share this one with you guys today because it is chock full of healthy things! It’s primarily made of spinach, carrots, and onions! How many of us can really say we’re getting a serving of veggies when we eat chips and dip? Well you can with this recipe. I used almost all organic ingredients from Randalls and I’ve been making this one about twice a week… it’s our new favorite thing.

I love spinach dip but I know a lot of them are pretty junky so I felt like I needed to try a few things to lighten up the classic spinach dip and I think the best way to do it is to decrease the fat and increase the veggies! So that’s exactly what I did. With onion, garlic and carrot sautéed together though, flavor is not lacking AT ALL! It’s super delicious!

I like to pair this dip with tortilla chips. You could also try it with pretzels, crackers or baby carrots. The O Organics® line, available in my area exclusively at Randalls stores, offers USDA certified organic products for creating delicious, healthy and affordable snacks your whole family will enjoy. O Organics products can also be found at all Albertsons Companies family of stores including Safeway, ACME Markets, Jewel-Osco, Vons, Pavilions, Tom Thumb, Shaw’s, Star Market, United, United Express and Carrs/Safeway.

This is totally going to be on our menu for the big game next month too… we all know the appetizer table could use some lighter fare!

1 5 oz. package baby spinach
1/4 onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup carrots, julienned
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup plain yogurt (at least 2% fat)
1 Tbsp mayo
1 tsp salt

Chop baby spinach and sauté over medium heat until wilted. Squeeze liquid out, then place in a small mixing bowl.
Swirl olive oil in the same pan, add onion, minced garlic and carrot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes or until onions are translucent, stirring occasionally.
Add that to the bowl with spinach and allow to cool. Add yogurt, mayo and salt. Stir well to mix and serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or baby carrots!
