Think about it: every time a holiday rolls around, people make spinach and artichoke dip. Football season? Spinach and artichoke dip. Picnic season? Spinach and artichoke dip. So it’s really no surprise that I would root for the underdog here, because white bean and artichoke dip is a combination that could absolutely stand up to its spinach frenemy on any day of the week. In one corner, we have spinach, which while nutritious and delicious, is totally overused in every recipe. When people want to feel fancy, they sling some spinach around the kitchen and call it a day. Spinach and artichoke dip is full of creamy, cheesy, melty goodness and even the healthy versions, well, they don’t exactly have negative calories. Then we have white bean dip. White beans, particularly cannellini beans are slightly nutty and earthy with thin skin and creamy flesh. They hold their shape well in salads and they also puree well in dips.

I came across a spinach dip that was only two Weight Watchers POINTS per serving. It was good, but that’s about all I can say for it because it kind of left you craving the real deal.I toyed with the healthier version of the recipe until I had a version that felt acceptable for face-stuffing. It still has less fat and fewer calories than you’ll find in your standard spinach dip, but it tastes every bit as indulgent as you want it to. This is a great option to serve during a sporting event because you can make a big batch of it and serve it with crusty bread or crackers. With football season in full swing and the baseball World Series set to takeover prime time television, you can never have too many game day recipes. Whether you’re partial to higher end options lik ebaked brie and fresh hummus or traditional football fare like buffalo wings and pizza, you’ll be hard pressed not to enjoy this. Unless you don’t […]
