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.

Includes recipes for:

• SPINACH-PARMESAN DIP


• CRUNCHY CRAB DIP


• TOMATO-FETA DIP
