Does anyone have any recipes for Spinach Artichoke Dip & a 7-Layer Dip that are SBD-friendly? I can figure out the 7-Layer pretty easily (FF refried beans, guacamole, RF cheese, RF sour cream, salsa, olives) but I have no idea how to make a spinach artichoke dip, other than using spinach, artichokes & some sort of cream cheese or mayo to make it creamy. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated. Also, what's the 7th ingredient in the 7-Layer dip? I'm drawing a blank ^_^

I think the 7th ingredient in 7-layer dip is sliced green onions.


Here's an easy spinach-artichoke dip:

Thank you so much!! Oh yeah, green onions, LOL.. at least that is easy to make SBD-friendly. RE: the Spinach Artichoke Dip recipe.. is that artichoke hearts? I'm guessing so, but I'm not sure. TIA.

Yes, a can of artichoke hearts. Drain them first and chop them up.

Tried this recipe with a few adjustments (just to lower the caloreis a bit so I could eat more of it - LOL!) and it was really tasty.

I used much less mayo and lt cream cheese than it called for. Instead I used NF plain yogurt that I had drained to make it thicker (just use paper towels in a strainer over a bowl) as the main ingredient other than sour cream. I also had a higher ratio of veggies to dairy overall. Plus added some real garlic.

Served it on toasted whole wheat pita. Very yummy.

Thanks for the good recipe!

Lisa.

Celery sticks, pepper strips, cucumbers are all good dippers in phase 1.
