This spinach dip will have any vegan or lactose intolerant jumping for joy. Heck, it’ll make anyone jump for joy. It’s so good!
Made without dairy but just as creamy and luscious as any regular spinach dip. I actually prefer this version to the cream cheese laden classics. And it doesn’t make me feel like I need a nap after eating it. You know that heavy feeling that makes you feel like you can’t move. None of that here.
A spinach dip everyone can enjoy. If you ask me, that makes it the perfect appetizer.
Creamy, spinachy and really delicious!
