Ingredients
  

For the Pinwheels
  • 1 tube Crescent Dough Provides a flaky texture; substitute with puff pastry for a richer flavor.
  • 1 cup Spinach Adds freshness and nutrition; thawed frozen spinach works too, just squeeze out excess moisture.
  • 6 slices Prosciutto Delivers a salty, savory punch; ham or turkey can be fantastic substitutions for a different taste.
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil Used to sauté garlic and spinach; can swap for any cooking oil you prefer.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Gives a lovely aromatic flavor; you can use garlic powder if you want a milder taste.
  • 8 ounces Reduced Fat Cream Cheese Binds the filling and gives it a creamy texture; regular cream cheese can be swapped but will increase the fat content.
  • to taste Salt Enhances flavor; adjust to suit your personal taste preferences.

For Serving Suggestions
  • 1 cup Dipping Sauces These pinwheels pair wonderfully with ranch, marinara, or balsamic reduction for added flavor.
