Higher Calorie Alert. Not all of our shared recipes are low-calorie or low-fat. Occasionally we share higher calorie recipes from a spa or resort destination because it is was requested by a reader or is a guest favorite in the dining rooms of spas and resorts which don't necessarily cater to a lower fat or specific diet plan. Most healthy eating plans will agree that an occasional indulgence is tolerated and encouraged if it will help you "stay on program."

ARTICHOKE-GORGONZOLA DIP
Courtesy of Inverness Resort & Spa, Denver, Colorado
This simple recipe, while not low-fat (although we reduced the fat by using a FF Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt), is rich in flavor. That meant just a few veggie slices and dip were satisfying as an appetizer without needing to "fill up." -- Spa Index Recipe Tester
1 cup Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
16 oz sour cream*
3 cloves garlic, minced
6 oz marinated artichoke hearts, chopped
10 oz frozen spinach, thawed
In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt cheeses and garlic, stirring continuously until combined. Add artichokes and spinach. Heat dip until hot but not bubbling. Serve with fresh vegetables, crackers, or baguettes.
Nutritional Data not available.
*We tried this recipe with FF Sour Cream and FF Greek Yogurt with satisfactory results.
