Game Day Guacamole

ooking for a new, healthy spin on the tired old collection of finger foods this football season? Just in time for Super Bowl XLVII on Feb. 3 in New Orleans, here are a few simple recipes, courtesy of Lifeway Foods:

1 cup mayonnaise 1 1/2 cups Lifeway Lowfat Plain Kefir (or Lifeway Greek Style Kefir) 1 package dry onion soup mix 1 4-ounce can water chestnuts, drained and chopped 5 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained 1 loaf round sourdough bread

Mix Neufchatel cheese with a whisk until soft and creamy. Stir in kefir a little at a time, until incorporated. Stir in wing sauce until combined. Gently fold in blue cheese and chicken. Pour into a baking dish and bake in a 350-degree oven for 30 minutes until hot and bubbly. Serve with a platter of crisp and colorful vegetable dippers.

In a medium bowl, mix together mayo, kefir, dry soup mix, water chestnuts, and chopped spinach. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or overnight. Remove the top of the sourdough bread, and hollow it out. Fill with spinach dip, and tear the bread from the inside into pieces for dipping.
