A guilt-free version of the popular dip. Made with fat-free sour cream, fat-free cream cheese, spinach, onion soup mix, water chestnuts, and red onion.
1 package (10 ounce size) chopped frozen spinach, thawed
1 container (16 ounce size) fat-free sour cream
1 package (8 ounce size) fat free cream cheese, softened
1 envelope onion soup mix
1/4 cup chopped water chestnuts
1/4 cup chopped red onion
Squeeze any excess moisture from the spinach and place the spinach in a bowl.
Add the sour cream, cream cheese, onion soup mix, water chestnuts, and chopped onion. Mix well.
Cover the bowl and chill the spinach dip for 30 minutes or until ready to serve.
Serve with pita wedges, crackers, chips. The dip can also be placed in a hollowed out round loaf of bread.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

I could definitely tell it was fat free. Not a huge fan... it was edible but I did not enjoy it. Maybe using the vegetable soup would have been better. I did substitute artichoke for the onions (too much onion with the pack of soup).

This definitely did NOT taste fat free! And the onion and water chestnuts added a nice bit of crunch. Although I think I chopped those a little too finely. Next time I'll make it a bit chunkier for more snap!

This was great and didn't taste fat free at all. The "original" version of this recipe that I remember uses vegetable soup mix instead of onion but both work fine. I served it with pita wedges and crackers. It was kind of addicting, especially knowing that it was low in fat!

I think the ingredients use mask the fat free sour cream and cream cheese so you don't know it's fat free. I also used a low sodium homemade version of the onion soup mix and served it in a bread bowl.

I don't normally like fat free dips but this was pretty good! It tasted pretty close to the traditional spinach dip recipe I've used for years. Need to watch the waistline now though lol.
