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. :)

Yield 4 cups, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup firm tofu or 1 (12 ounce) box tofu
1/3 cup raw cashew nuts (optional)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon honey or 1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon mock poultry seasoning
1 tablespoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 -2 teaspoon salt, to taste
water, as needed

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.

RAW VEGAN SPINACH-TOFU DIP / SPREAD



Raw Vegan Spinach-Tofu Dip / Spread image

Sneak some spinach into your diet with this tasty dip that's good for crackers and veggies! Whipped this up on a lazy Saturday to use up some silken tofu that was going to expire soon, and my usual plethora of spinach leaves that I pray don't go bad soon! I finally made my own raw recipe! :D Best served with baby carrots and wheat crackers. If you don't mind taking the "raw" component out, it's also nice on pasta!

Time 5m

Yield 10 , 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups fresh spinach (approx, I did a few handfuls)
1 (17 ounce) package silken tofu
1/3 cup nutritional yeast
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon white pepper

Steps:

  • Remove any stems from the spinach leaves for smoothness. Throw everything into a blender/food processor and pulse until you reach the desired consistency-- I don't like this fully pureed, just mostly mushed up with a few spinach chunks left. Use within 1 week!
