This dip is so flavorful, creamy, cheesy, and I’ve even lightened it up! Originally I was just going to do a spinach dip, but it is the holidays after all and what goes better and looks more festive with green spinach than some roasted red peppers. Not only do the roasted red peppers compliment the colors of green spinach and the creamy white cheese, but they also add a nice smokey sweetness to the dip.

If you are worried that this dip might be difficult to make, trust me it’s not. To make the dip simply add plain non fat Greek yogurt, room temperature low fat cream cheese, minced garlic, diced roasted red peppers, defrosted and drained frozen spinach, shredded mozzarella cheese, salt, and pepper to a large mixing bowl.

Using a rubber spatula fold all of the ingredients together until they are completely combined. Pour the mixture into an oven safe baking dish and top it with a little more mozzarella cheese. Bake the ooey gooey cheesy dip for about 30 minutes or until it’s bubbly and the cheese is golden brown. That’s all there is to it! Easy right?

My favorite way to eat this festive Spinach and Roasted Red Pepper Dip is with crackers, but crostini would be delicious too.
