| Spinach Onion Dip
one 10 ounce package of fresh spinach or frozen chopped, thawed
1 cup of low fat cottage cheese
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
1/2 cup of light sour cream or low fat plain yogurt
1/2 cup of chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup of chopped scallion, including 2 inches green tops
1 teaspoon of salt
freshly ground pepper
Trim stems and coarse leaves from spinach. Rinse spinach, cook, covered, over medium heat for 3 minutes or until wilted. If using frozen, no need to cook. Thoroughly drain, squeezing out excess moisture, coarsely chop and set aside.
In blender or food processor, process cottage cheese with lemon juice until blended. Add spinach, sour cream, parsley, scallion, salt and pepper to taste, process just until mixed. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to blend flavors. Makes 2 1/4 cups
Variations:
Parsley Onion Dip - Instead of spinach, substitute 1 cup coarsely chopped fresh parsley
Fresh Basil Onion Dip: Instead of spinach, substitute 1/2 cup of coarsely chopped fresh basil leaves
Dill Dip: Instead of spinach, substitute 1/4 cup of coarsely chopped fresh parsley and 1/3 cup of chopped fresh dill or 1 tablespoon of dried dillweed.
