Spinach and fetta dip cup 

This simple spinach and fetta dip can be whipped up in no time for a healthier snack option.
15 min prep
4 serves
2.75 serves of veg
  • 250g frozen chopped spinach, thawed
  • 2 spring onions, finely sliced
  • 1 cup reduced-fat Greek yoghurt
  • 100g reduced-fat fetta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced and zested
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 tsp dill
  • 1 large carrot, peeled and cut into sticks
  • 1 medium Lebanese cucumber, cut into sticks
  • 1 large capsicum, cut into sticks
  1. Using your hands, squeeze the chopped spinach over a colander to remove excess liquid. Discard the liquid and transfer the spinach to a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add the spring onion, yoghurt, fetta, lemon juice and zest, garlic and dill to the bowl. Mix well to combine.
  3. To serve, divide the dip between 4 small bowls or cups. Arrange the carrot, cucumber and capsicum standing them upright in the dip.

Serving Suggestion: Greek yoghurt can be swapped for reduced-fat ricotta cheese. Vegetables can be swapped or included for others you may have on hand such as green beans, broccoli, or celery.

Other dipping suggestions include wholegrain crackers, toasted pita bread or a piece of wholemeal toast cut into fingers.

Storage: Leftover dip can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Kids in the kitchen tips: Depending on your child’s age and skill, they can help add the ingredients to the bowl, mixing the dip together and selecting the vegetables to serve in each cup.
