Love Trader Joe's Kale Spinach Dip?  Make Your Own!

7/8/2015

Who doesn't like appetizer dips?  There are so many to enjoy.  Today's Musing is about a particular favorite in the Malek house.  Trader Joe's has a great Spinach and Kale Greek Yogurt Dip.  It's delicious and we love it. 

I like being able to make my own recipes, though.   like having control over what ingredients I use (preferably organic) and I like being able to reduce the sodium content.  Enter this recipe for Kale-Spinach dip.  It's a copycat recipe that I found online.  I decided to give it a try and it's unbelievably good.  Of note is that I say this before I even put it in the refrigerator for a few hours to allow it to mellow  and for flavors to blend.  It's good now, and it will only be better in a few hours.

I made the recipe as written except that I cut the salt in half.  Water chestnuts and chopped marinated artichoke hearts are listed as optional.  I did not use them because I didn't have any in the pantry.  Next time I will add the water chestnuts, as I like the little crunch they add to the dip.  As always, I use as much organic ingredients as is available.

Give this a try!  It uses very healthy Greek yogurt and just a bit of mayonnaise.
