It’s time for Karen’s Killer Fixin’s! Over the years, I’ve filled two 4-inch, 3-ring binders with my own creations as well as recipes my family and friends were willing to share with me. I simply love to cook and want to share that love with my readers. So every Friday, I share one recipe I think you and your family might enjoy. It might be a main course recipe. A cookie or baked item. Candy. Salads. Whatever strikes my eye and fancy…which today is SPINACH DIP for VEGGIES/CRACKERS!
This is a great recipe for those summer parties and BBQs, although I’ve been known to make this for our neighborhood Christmas parties as well. It’s healthy (if you serve with veggies instead of crackers), easy to make, and delicious. I’ve even used leftover dip to stuff chicken breasts before wrapping the breasts with bacon and baking.
I hope you enjoy today’s Killer Fixin’s. Happy eating!
Karen

This looks yummy but I think I’d use natural unsweetened yogurt instead of sour cream, and lo fat mayonnaise. That might work for a low calorie version.
Definitely, Kenna. I’ve used low calorie mayonnaise in the past. Never used yogurt but it sounds delicious, too. 🙂
Sounds delicious! It’s different from other recipes I’ve seen
Enjoy!
Tasty sounding. I like the alternative suggestions, too. This would be a treat at the table. Thanks, Karen. 🙂
Oh, forgot to mention that this is great on toast points, too.
We have friends coming over in August..might have to try this one out.
It’s what I like to take to BYO parties. So refreshing and much healthier than the candy I also usually make for parties. 🙂
Thanks Karen. This is very similar to the recipe we use.
I have a friend who has one similar as well. I’m sure there are several variations out there. It’s so versatile. 🙂
