Superfast Appetizers

Whether it's an impromptu get-together with friends or a formal cocktail party, these 20-minute recipes will whet the appetite.

At first, the spinach will seem to overflow in the skillet, but keep stirring--as it begins to wilt, it reduces in volume. Serve this creamy dip with crudites or hearty wheat crackers.

Yield: 2 cups (serving size: 1/4 cup)

 

Ingredients

  • 1  teaspoon  olive oil
  • 3  garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1/4  teaspoon  salt
  • 1  (10-ounce) package fresh spinach
  • 1/2  cup  basil leaves, loosely packed
  • 1/3  cup  (about 3 ounces) 1/3-less-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1/8  teaspoon  black pepper
  • 1/3  cup  plain fat-free yogurt
  • 1/4  cup  (1 ounce) grated fresh Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic; saute 1 minute. Add salt and spinach; saute 3 minutes or until the spinach wilts. Place spinach mixture in a colander, pressing until mixture is barely moist.

Place spinach mixture, basil, cream cheese, and pepper in a food processor; process until smooth. Spoon spinach mixture into a medium bowl. Add yogurt and Parmesan; stir to combine. Chill.
