2 tbsp olive oil
1 small sweet onion, diced

16 oz fresh spinach, chopped
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup light mayonnaise
1 cup parmesan, grated or shredded

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 F. Finely chop fresh spinach, dice onion, and mince garlic. Grate parmesan and set aside for later. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions and sauté for 3-5 minutes or until translucent. Stir in garlic and chopped spinach and cook for 3-5 minutes or until spinach wilts down. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl combine Greek yogurt, light mayo, 1/4 cup parmesan, 1/2 cup mozzarella, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (optional). Add Greek yogurt mixture to the pan and stir together. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Transfer to an oven safe baking dish (preferably the one you will serve out of). Top with 1/2 cup parmesan and 1/2 cup mozzarella, or more or less depending on your preference & the size of your dish. Place in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. Broil for 2-3 minutes to get an extra bubbly golden brown top.

Notes:
– Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
– Frozen spinach can be used just be sure to squeeze the liquid out.
– Dip can be served hot or cold (oven step can be skipped if serving cold).
