Low-Fat Hot Artichoke and Spinach Dip

Chef At Sea's Note:

You won't believe this isn't loaded with fat when you taste it! No one even knows it as tofu in it! Substitute the parmesan cheese with veggie mozzarella cheese (grated) for a dairy-free version

This is really good for a low-fat dip. Would never guess it was tofu.

The reviewers were right! So glad I trusted them. I took this to a party and crossed my fingers that it would deliver on flavor and texture and it did!! I didn't tell the ladies until several had take a second taste. After I told them it was tofu, they were so surprised. One lady who was holding back, decided to have some after all. She is watching her calories/fat. So thank you for sharing. I have passed it along to my sister and my sister in law who are on Weight Watchers.

OH WOW! I went to a party and needed to bring an appetizer. I made this (served it will melba toasts) and the bowl was scraped clean! I didn't tell anyone (not even my husband) that there was tofu in it and not one person could tell! haha! I am keeping that a secret and will be making this again and again. It is a great substitution for the fully loaded spinach artichoke dip. I am so excited about this recipe! Thanks for posting!!
