Springing into dip

Rarely does a holiday go by that someone doesn't offer up a spinach dip. Be it a potluck or Christmas Day celebration, post-Thanksgiving appetizer party or Super Bowl pregame get-together: there is always a bowl of soft bread filled with creamy spinach dip. As spring began to shows signs of waking this year I realized it's been a few years since I've enjoyed a spinach dip indulgence. Where have all the spinach dips gone?

I took matters into my own hands and made a lightened up version, perfect for warmer weather.
