Clean (& quick) Spinach Dip



Google Image-I really need to start taking pics of my food!

 Ingredients

• 10 ounces frozen spinach, thawed
• 16 ounce container of cottage cheese
• 3 cloves garlic
• 3 green onions
• 1 (or 2) 5 ounce cans of water chestnuts
• (Optional) salt to taste

Technique

• Puree cottage cheese in blender until smooth
• Drain and add spinach to cottage cheese,  pulse to desired consistency
• Fine chop garlic, pulse to blend or blend by hand
• Fine chop green onion & mix in by hand
• Fine chop water chestnuts & mix in by hand

Tips

• I pulsed all the ingredients together after blending the cottage cheese and spinach, too smooth in my opinion.  I prefer adding the last three by hand to maintain a little texture & crunch.
• Low fat cottage cheese works fine.
• You can throw in some fine grated Parmesan as well.
• Garlic powder, dehydrated onions or onion powder are acceptable.
• Serve with wheat crackers, corn chips or fresh veggies for dipping.
