About Artichoke Dip with Parmesan Cheese Recipe
With only 99 calories and 6.4 Total Fat content, this recipe is one of the greatest dishes for persons who need to lose weight and has a lot of health benefits due to the artichoke and green onions. I make this dish almost every month, especially during the autumn season. I don’t really know why I like it more in autumn, but hey, that’s only me. I tried once to add some bacon in there, it turned out to be a good idea, but the taste was radically changed. Anyway, if you’re a “meat-eater“, try this crazy bacon idea. But keep in mind that adding bacon, will increase the calories and fat content, and if you need to lose weight, that’s not a good idea. Your choice!
For a Lighter Artichoke Dip recipe
For 1 gram of fat and 20 calories per serving, use 1/3 cup plain fat-free yogurt and three tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise for the 1/2 cup mayonnaise. Doing so will reduce the fat content even more, but the taste will be slightly different. To be honest, I like the original Artichoke Dip recipe, as noted below.
The lighter version is also Healthier
If you search for the healthiest recipe for Artichoke Dip, the lighter version from above is what you need. It can be used also for slimming diets (not strict ones) or you’ve adopted a healthy lifestyle.
What goes well with Artichoke Dip?
Serve your dip with baguette slices, pretzel chips, fresh vegetables, pita chips, or breadsticks. Any of these are great with it, but keep in mind that you should avoid eating more than 3-4 small portions (in case you have weight issues).
How long can it be refrigerated or frozen?
If you want to refrigerate the Artichoke Dip, you can do so by wrapping it in tight containers and place in the refrigerator for up to 24-32 hours. As for freezing, sour cream and mayo tend to separate and become watery. I didn’t try to freeze it, and I recommend the same for you.
Notes and Tips
