This dip was tasty! Silly me forgot the garlic and leek, which I’m sure would have only enhanced the dish, but it was still great! I swapped in extra firm tofu since that’s what I had on hand. Silken tofu, as the recipe includes, would be ideal. I needed to thin out the mixture with some water/non dairy milk.
Also, if anyone wants to make their own homemade cream cheese, that worked out well for me! (I used 1 c cashews, 1 tbs ACV + lemon juice + 1 tsp salt). My preference led me to baking the spinach dip with a tiny bit of vegan cheese sprinkled on top (not necessary) and ate it with tortilla chips. I will make this dip again and be sure to include the leek and garlic! Some crusty bread on the side would be perfect, too! Thanks for the recipe, Caitlin!

In reply to Brianna. Did anyone ever find a substitute for Tofu?

This was pretty spot on for a vegan spinach dip. Although I think the tomato paste can be omitted since I didn’t care for its taste in the recipe.

In reply to A. Hey there! I like either the Kite Hill or Miyoko's Kitchen Cream Cheeses, but Daiya will work in a pinch. All of these brands have store locators on their website! If it's still not available in your area, you could substitute with a homemade cream cheese (there are several recipes online), or use a mixture of blended soaked cashews with vegan mayo for that extra "tang"

This is one thing I crave at our family events. Mostly because everyone is busy eating the non vegan version. I miss it so much so would love to try this.
However vegan cream cheese is not something I can find..and I’ve looked hard.
Is there something that i could substitute it with?

I made quite a few alterations to this because I think I’m used to a very unhealthy version lol! I added probably double the salt, about a tablespoon of garlic powder, 2ish tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and about a tablespoon of nutritional yeast. If I were to do it again, I would probably add fresh garlic at the beginning. Overall, it’s a good base recipe especially if you want something healthierz (if you don’t want it to be healthy, this is not the recipe for you ????)

Amazing recipe! I brought it for a farewell potluck for one of my good co-workers, and didn’t even tell them it was vegan! They loved it. I loved it! I felt good to eat something vegan without the expense of an anima and be able to share it with people that aren’t vegan also! Only thing was, It was a bit strong on the onion flavor, and mind you i cut out half of the leek in the recipe cause it doesn’t specific a size and mine was huge! It was still onion-y! Everything else worked out great tho! i was very happy how fluffy the dip came out after i let it sit for a minute cause it was a little watery looking when i was cooking it on the stove and hadn’t added the dry spinach and water chestnuts yet. SSSoooo goood! Great Job!

In reply to Lisa. Good catch, Lisa! I have added it to the recipe - you need about 8 oz total for this one!
