DAIRY FREE SPINACH DIP 😛🌿🍃 . . Growing up in upstate NY, all foods comfort, gluten, sour cream, salt and cheese were staples to my family‘s cooking and favorite meals. My dad’s original spinach dip recipe is famous amongst all my friends, and is theirs and my absolute favorite appetizer. It’s always the one thing I want when I visit home - still debating whether or not I will have the original version in two weeks 😏. My friends and I would always have to try NOT to eat it one sitting. The original calls for a sourdough bread-bowl to serve the mixture of cream cheese, sour cream, chopped spinach and Good Seasons Italian Mix. So, pretty much everything I can’t have. . Tonight I attempted to remaster my dad’s version with the new #dairyfreeproducts I purchased today from #wholefoods as well as seasonings that I am allowed to eat! The Italian seasoning mix was the hardest to recreate - so feel free to season to taste! Below’s description was my best attempt to recall my trial and error (today was my first run of this), and the seasonings are partially inspired by @midnitebaker ‘s copy cat recipe of the original Italian mix) . . . Ingredients: 16oz Dairy Free Cream Cheese (I used @daiyafoods this time) 16oz Dairy Free Yogurt (I used @kitehillfoods this time) 16oz Chopped Frozen Spinach (drained well) 2 tbsp sea salt 2 tbsp oregano 1 tbsp garlic powder 1 tbsp onion powder 1 tbsp parsley 2 tsp stevia 1/2 tsp paprika . . . . I like to warm the cream cheese in the oven first so that it’s easier to mix with everything. Thaw out the spinach and drain WELL - as close to no water as possible! And then dump all the other ingredients with the drained spinach and mix it up!!💚You can serve immediately or let it sit for a few hours. Not sure yet if the sitting changes the flavor for the dairy free version but the original version always tasted better after some fridge time. I ate right away tonight 😋 #lymediet #lymedietfriendly #glutendairysugarfree #veganrecipes #veganspinachdip #spinachdip #vegancheese #dairyfree #antiinflammatorydiet #wholefoods #wholefoodsmarket #365organic #dairyfree #dairyfreeyogurt #kitehill #daiya #eatwell #eatwellbewell #lymedisease #lymewithsalt (at Ocean Beach, San Diego) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrEjq7OnGOL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=u41oxhllls0r
