Hot Collard Greens and Artichoke Dip

Instead of serving traditional high-fat spinach and artichoke dip, make this unique, lower-fat Hot Collard Greens & Artichoke Dip recipe

Sneaking vegetables into your diet is yet another simple way to accomplish that resolution to eat more healthful foods. Instead of serving traditional high-fat spinach and artichoke dip at your next party, make this unique, lower-fat version with collard greens, one of the milder dark-green leafy vegetables.

Both collard greens and artichokes -- whether fresh, frozen or canned -- contain a powerful mix of fiber, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants for your eyes, skin, bones and immune system.

Serve this hot Collard Greens and Artichoke dip with whole-wheat crackers and multigrain bread cubes.
