Really Good Vegan Spinach Tofu Dip (Even if You Hate Tofu/Vegan
The olives really make this dip - don't omit them! :) I'm a diehard carnivore, but I was going to a potluck and wanted to bring a cheap, egg-free, dairy-free dish in case there were allergies or vegetarians there. I took about six recipes off the Internet, combined them and added a few more things, and it was great! I let it sit in the fridge for two days and just re-mixed it before serving. At the potluck, there was not a single vegetarian there, and they all liked this dip. Cayenne and grated carrot would probably be great in this and make it a more "traditional" spinach dip. You may want to start with less garlic if you're not a big fan.

Defrost spinach and squeeze out as much liquid as you can. Drain tofu of any excess liquid. Place tofu and oil in a large bowl. Use a hand mixer on high speed to combine them until creamy. Add pepper, vegetable bouillon powder, dried basil, garlic powder, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Blend on high speed for 1 minute. On low speed, mix in onion, spinach, and olives. Taste and adjust seasonings to your preference. Cover the bowl and place in the fridge. Let it sit for at least 8 hours for the flavours to meld, preferably overnight. Serve with crackers, bread, chips, or vegetables for dipping.
