Vegan Spinach Dip
Vegan Spinach Dip is a big hit with vegans and non vegans alike. Most people would not know if this recipe is vegan or not, its that good. A really simple recipe, kids like it too!
I love how easy it is to veganize any recipe. All you have to do is swap out one or two ingredients and BAM its veganized!
With this vegan version of a well known favourite, you can maintain the flavour and taste and potentially reduce some health risks associated with eating animal fat. Hey its worth a try.
This dip is creamy; has a tart taste and is nicely rounded off with the sweetness of maple syrup. Have a little fun with this recipe and make it your own.
