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.

This is the best vegan spinach dip I've ever had! It's so creamy and flavorful. I love that it's made with tofu, which makes it a healthier option than traditional spinach dip.

This dip is amazing! I'm not vegan, but I'm always looking for new and delicious vegan recipes. This one definitely fits the bill. It's creamy, flavorful, and satisfying. I served it with tortilla chips, but it would also be great with pita bread or
