VEGAN SPINACH DIP (TOFU)

Vegan Spinach Dip (Tofu) image

I LOVE spinach dip! Healthy alternative and fun way to eat tofu. I was going to make this today before posting this, but ran out of time. I'll give an update once I make it which if I can help it should be very soon! This is another one of my new recipes from Neva & Jim Brackett's 7 Secrets Cookbook to lose weight, lower cholesterol, and reverse diabetes. Cooking time does not include time needed for dip to chill which is 2-3 hours. Update: I know honey isn't vegan which is why I listed or sugar, but I personally don't mind using honey. So, if you want this meal to completely vegan for you, don't use honey. I did try this today and was happy to get that taste I'd been missing. :)

REALLY GOOD VEGAN SPINACH TOFU DIP (EVEN IF YOU HATE TOFU/VEGAN

Really Good Vegan Spinach Tofu Dip (Even if You Hate Tofu/Vegan image

The olives really make this dip - don't omit them! :) I'm a diehard carnivore, but I was going to a potluck and wanted to bring a cheap, egg-free, dairy-free dish in case there were allergies or vegetarians there. I took about six recipes off the Internet, combined them and added a few more things, and it was great! I let it sit in the fridge for two days and just re-mixed it before serving. At the potluck, there was not a single vegetarian there, and they all liked this dip. Cayenne and grated carrot would probably be great in this and make it a more "traditional" spinach dip. You may want to start with less garlic if you're not a big fan.
