I absolutely love spinach dip! I bought some at Walmart the other day (the Tostitos brand creamy spinach dip - on the chip aisle). Yesterday I used it to make chicken salad, instead of mayo and it was wonderful! The spinach dip has 50 cal, 4g fat, 2 carbs for 2 tbsp. Mayo has 180 cal, 20g fat, and 0 carbs for 2 tbsp. It's much lower in calories and fat, and it gives a lot of flavor.

I used canned chicken, added a few tbsp. of spinach dip (as much or as little as you like) and a little salt and pepper, very tasty lunch!! I love the texture it gave the chicken salad. The dip has diced veggies, so it adds a little crunch, which I love. Hope you all like it!

The spinach dip is definitely going on my grocery list. I love the stuff and I already have the canned chicken in my pantry. This will be great to take to work for lunch. My lunch is usually so boring. Tuna 2 or 3 times a week or turkey and ham with cheese.

Have you tried some of the whole grain crackers like Kashi or wheat things (8 of them are around 8-10 carbs if I remember correctly). I still like a little crunch once in awhile. This spinach/chicken dip would be great on them.

Thanks for the idea Georgia Girl.

Hey nip, I have tried the Kashi Fire Roasted Vegetable ones and they are really good. I love those, they are very good. Hope you enjoy!

Hubby (also banded) takes the Tostido Queso / Mixes a drained can of Rotele / Shredded chicken & Warms it in the crockpot. This is his wkend staple most of the time - I told him about the creamy spinach and his eye widened . I see this in his future - FAST!!

Yum! The queso dip is in my top 10 foods- I was wondering what I could make with it! Thanks for the tip!

Ok, I finally remembered to pick some of this up at the grocery store, and Oh, MY it's sooo good. YUM-O!

I Had This For Lunch Today!!!!!!

Thanks for a great recipe! I tried this today as a celery filling. I put the spinach/chicken salad in a larger tube pastry bag and filled the cleaned celery. So yummy!!

Great idea! Does celery go down pretty well for you? I have not tried it raw since being banded because it's a little stringy and I wasn't sure how it would go down.

I've tried it, but only after de-ribbing it. Then it does fine. Otherwise, I have to cut it up in VERY small pieces or I'm afraid it will cause problems.

Well, I am having creamy spinach chicken salad on wasa crackers for lunch, and I gotta say, it's NUMMY!

I made while I was on vacation last week and had it at least 3 times, lol! My family really liked it too!

well i bought it, made the chicken salad and will have it for dinner tomorrow night.

im so excited to try it... the chicken and dip is barely ANY calories (points - im doing WW for a little bit)... so i'll let you know ...

Sadly, my DH hates spinach, so he won't eat it. On the upside of that, MORE FOR ME! LOL!

i made the mistake of showing DH the dip... he was droooling ... guess i need to stock up. i found it in Super Target.

I love this dip! I nuked 1 wedge of light laughing cow cheese in the microwave for about 20 seconds and mixed it with some of the dip and it made a nice little topper for my Bocca Burger patty. It would work well for a chicken breast too! If I could handle steak, I would mix the dip with a little bit of blue cheese for a steak topper!
