    This is wonderful, but I used the recipe here on spark for YOGURT CHEESE, which is just straining the yogurt the day or so before through a cheesecloth or strainer - much easier than the papertowel thing! Thanks for a healthy spinach dip!!! - 6/14/08

    This was a HUGE hit! I used frozen spinach (about 2 packs) and just cooked it up and let it drain/cool. I also used more garlic and lowfat feta. It was SO GOOD. I didn't have a food processor so a hand mixer did the job just fine. LOVED IT and so did everyone else! - 3/26/08

    This is definitely a dip, and I was just looking for another way to add more spinach to my diet. I think it would be fantastic with carrots or raw cauliflower and broccoli for dipping. I added a little Pick A Peppa for some zip, though. I'd also leave some of the spinach as whole leaves. - 7/15/08

    YUMMMM. I was looking for a healthier alternative to spinach dip for Christmas Eve and I found this. I JUST got finished making it. YUM! I added a bit more spinach than it calls for and more garlic. I used a whole pack of the Dole baby spinach leaves. I hope everyone likes it tomorrow! - 12/23/07
