Recipe Tips

Microwave spinach and water in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1 to 1-1/2 min. or just until spinach is wilted; cool.

Drain spinach well, then squeeze to remove any remaining moisture. Chop coarsely.

Cut 1 (5x1/4-inch) strip and 3 (1-1/2x1/4-inch) strips from roasted peppers; set aside.

Chop remaining peppers; place in medium bowl. Add cheeses, artichokes, garlic powder and spinach; mix well. Shape into 9x4-inch oval on plate; top with pepper strips to resemble football as shown in photo.

Refrigerate 30 min.

Serve with WHEAT THINS.
