This healthy Cheesy Vegan Spinach Dip is made with tofu ricotta. Perfect for a party appetizer served with veggies.
Some recipes come about by pure accident. This Cheesy Vegan Spinach Dip is one of those recipes.
I was making some roll-ups which are a bit messy. While I was spreading the spinach tofu ricotta filling, I kept licking my fingers.
I realized the filling was good enough to stand on its own as a dip.
This vegan spinach dip is perfect for a party because you can make it ahead of time. With the Super Bowl around the corner, you might be looking for some easy recipes to add to your menu.
This vegan dip is a vegan's dream because it has protein-rich tofu. I can't tell you how many times I've been to a party and filled up on hummus, veggies, and chips because that's all I could eat.
Anytime there's something with protein to keep me satiated longer makes me a happy camper.
I used a similar combination to this vegan dip in my Spinach, Tofu, and Pine Nut Enchiladas, so if you like this recipe and you like enchiladas, check out that recipe.
