Recipe News: Dip recipes cut calories, not flavor

STEVE BROWN/Wichita Eagle From top: Tomato-Feta Dip, Spinach-Parmesan Dip and Crunchy Crab Dip It's party season, and tempting foods are everywhere.

Dips are popular fare, but many are filled with empty calories – for example, sour cream, cream cheese or mayonnaise spiked with seasonings.

Just 2 tablespoons of some dips contain more than 100 calories and 10 grams of fat, so even if you dip vegetables instead of chips, calories can stack up fast.

But healthier options can give you flavor along with vegetables and protein.

Here are three favorites adapted from Cooking Light.

Includes recipes for:

• SPINACH-PARMESAN DIP


• CRUNCHY CRAB DIP


• TOMATO-FETA DIP
