Vegan Spinach Dip (ft. pumpernickel bread)
Every New Year’s Eve, my family makes spinach dip served in a pumpernickel breadbowl. It was something my grandma loved to make for parties, but I’m not really sure how it ever became a NYE tradition. Yet every year around New Year I always seem to be craving it. So this year, I decided to make a veganized version!
If you already have a vegan sour cream on hand, this recipe only requires 4 simple ingredients! If not, you can fairly easily make up a vegan sour cream. I love this recipe by Cookie and Kate.
This dip goes great with pumpernickel bread, but it also can also be served alongside crackers, veggies, and other dip-ables.
Vegan Spinach Dip
makes 1 large bowl of spinach dip
Time: Approx. 15 Minutes
Ingredients
2 cups of vegan mayonnaise
2 cups of vegan sour cream (I used this recipe from Cookie and Kate)
80g of dried vegetable soup mix (can be bought in bulk or packaged)
300g of frozen spinach, thawed (cooked or fresh works too, but frozen help to keeps the dip cold)
2 loaves of pumpernickel bread (sub for bread of choice, crackers, veggies)
To Make:
Thaw spinach (in microwave or method of your choice)
In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, and vegetable soup mix.
Add in the spinach and use a fork to mix it in and crush up the clumps.
Cut up your bread, serve and enjoy! Store in the refrigerator in an air tight container.
