Description

We live for any kind of appetizer that combines a green veg with a creamy dip. This one uses Greek yogurt, so it’s actually pretty good for you. A little extra kick from the hot sauce, fresh spinach and subtle sweetness from the pine nuts will make this hors d’oeuvre your new go-to party pleaser.
