Ingredients
2 cloves very finely minced garlic
2 cup strained low fat or non fat Greek yogurt
2 T. Pickled Jalapeño peppers, finely minced
1 cup chopped frozen spinach
juice of one small lime
1/2 tsp ground cumin or more to taste
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Strain the yogurt through a sieve or colander that's been lined with several layers of cheese cloth or a couple of layers of coffee filters. Leave the yogurt in the sieve, over an empty bowl for several hours, until about 1 cup of liquid drains off. I generally start with about 3 cup of Greek yogurt to get 2 cups of strained yogurt. You can use plain Greek yogurt unstrained if you like but the dip will not be as thick.
- Simple mix all of the other ingredients into the strained yogurt and leave in the fridge for a couple of hours or even overnight for the flavors to meld together.
- Serve with julienned fresh veggies or with tortilla chips.
- Thinned with a little low fat milk or buttermilk, this dip could also be used as a creamy salad dressing.
