Spinach Dip

Recipe By :unknown
Serving Size : 16 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Appetizers Vegetables

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
10 ounces frozen chopped spinach -- (1 package), thawed
and drained
2 scallions -- (small, thin ones)
1 large egg -- hard-cooked
1/3 cup light mayonnaise
1/3 cup sour cream -- or yogurt
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 tablespoon Tabasco sauce
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt

Press out liquid from spinach with the back of a tablespoon until no
liquid appears. Chop spinach and scallions fine with a knife; or
chop fine, using metal blade of a food processor, but do not
puree. Chop egg fine with a knife, or shred, using coarse shredding
disc of a food processor.

In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice,
mustard, Tabasco, and salt until smooth. Stir in spinach, scallion,
and egg. Cover tightly and chill. To preserve color of spinach,
serve dip several hours after it is made. Offer with tortilla chips.

NOTES : I've had this recipe so long that it precedes the days of
low-fat or fat-free products. I'm sure light mayo will work;
probably could also use ff sour cream/yogurt. Everyone seems to love
this dip, but it's been several years since I've prepared it. My
recipe doesn't state number of servings, so I calculated servings as
follows: Assuming the 2 cups is correct, and assuming 2T per
serving, this would serve 16.

Raw Veggie Bars

RAW VEGGIE BARS

1 pkg Pillsbury’s Poppin Fresh Hot White Loaf *
4 oz light cream cheese**
1 C finely chopped broccoli
1/2 C finely chopped tomatoes, peeled and seeded, or finely chopped red
pepper
1/2 pkg ranch salad dressing mix
1 C plain low-fat yogurt
1/4 C sliced green onions
1/2 C grated carrots

Spread Poppin’ Fresh Hot White Loaf on a 9 x 16 inch baking pan.
(Unroll loaf, like you would the biscuits that come in a can. Bake
according to directions and cool. (About 10 - 12 minutes, until
lightly browned.)

Blend thoroughly dressing mix, light cream cheese and yogurt. Spread
on Cooled bread. Press the vegetables into dressing mixture. Chill
and cut into squares.

*I can only find "French Bread" in the Pillsbury products, now - so
that's what I use.

**The original recipe called for light cream cheese that comes in a
tub. I don’t think it’s available that way anymore. Fat-free cream
cheese works very well, just DO NOT use a mixer with it (it will
liquefy). Just cream it in a bowl with a spoon.
