The first time I made this Easy Baked Warm Spinach Dip with Garlic and Parmesan, I was hosting a girls night in at my place. This dish was one of a few items I prepared that if consumed in moderation is not bad for you. This dip was an instant success! Typically, it is fairly simple to slim down your favorite dish with a few substitutions. Here, I used reduced-fat ingredients: mayo, cream cheese, and sour cream. Those adjustments alone created amazing macros.
I created this dish to be an appetizer. The majority of the ingredients are low-carb (spinach, cheeses, and mayo). After reviewing the macros I realized this dip could make a great topping as well. I am thinking about preparing grilled salmon and topping it with a small portion of the dip. It should work perfectly since the dip is served warm! This is a great way to brighten up boring salmon dishes.

I have to confess, I am not much of a spinach fan, however I do enjoy it in a gravy with cottage cheese. This has been my only way up to know. Maybe adding diaries such as milk, cheese and cream make spinach taste amazing and that’s why I think I am going to try your dip soon.
