Ok, lets cut to the chase. If you’re looking for a dairy-free or vegan spinach dip recipe that is amazing, this is it! It tastes identical to classic spinach dip. I’ve served this to a crowd several times and everyone loves it. Plus, they have no idea its vegan. Its actually quite simple to turn this recipe into a vegan version with a few simple swaps.
What’s best to serve with this dip? Bread, and more bread! But, if you’re wanting some low carb options, cucumber, peppers and other green veggies work too!
How to serve in a bread bowl: Hollow out the loaf, and place a small round bowl inside the bread. I do this rather than just placing the dip directly into the bread. I prefer this way because if you’re needing more bread, you can remove the dish and cut the bread bowl into pieces and the bread isn’t soggy. You just over fill it a little so you can’t see the dish you’re using.
I hope you give this a try at your next gathering. Everyone will love it!

* I like to use a coconut based yogurt that’s on the thicker side. I used the Silk cultured coconut.
* For the soup mix, I use the Knorr brand which is vegan. You’ll need to check labels to ensure no milk ingredients
*For the mayo, my favorite is Hellman’s vegan mayo
