Basic Spinach Dip Recipe

Spinach Dip With Variations: Make It Vegan Or Lacto-Veg

Feel free to play with this recipe - it'll work as long as you keep the basic idea. This is a very intuitive (unexact) recipe, so quantities are flexible. Once you make it a few times, you'll have your own recipe.

For instance, it could morph into basil or dill dip, using pesto or fresh herbs. Add a little nutmeg - always good with spinach. Add a pinch of cayenne or green curry paste to make it hot, or more roasted garlic to make it garlicky. Or add chopped artichoke hearts.

Of course this dip is perfect with potato chips, corn chips, crackers, or raw veggies. But don't stop there. Use it as a sauce over noodles or grains, in pitas, tortillas or wraps.

Make it a lacto-vegetarian dip using dairy sour cream, and regular mayonnaise.

Comments & Questions About Vegan Spinach Dip:

Q: Vegan Spinach Dip sounds wonderful, but I was wondering, can it safely be made in a slow cooker??? If so, do you know how long it would need to cook and if I need to add water or anything. I just received my first slow cooker and am very excited about using it for all kinds of vegan dishes. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Kessa M.

A: It should work just fine. Usually food takes 3 - 6 times as long in a slowcooker, so try it on low for 1 - 2 hours. The idea is just to warm the mixture - Savvy Veg
