Serves
A crowd (18 servings)
Ingredients
1
tablespoon canola oil
1/2
cup diced yellow onion
2
cloves garlic, minced
5
oz bag baby spinach
8
oz Nature’s Fynd Original Dairy-Free Cream Cheese
1
tablespoon fresh lemon juice + zest of lemon
1
tablespoon nutritional yeast
Kosher salt to taste
pita chips, tortilla chips, assorted veggies—whatever you prefer for dipping
1
can (14 oz) artichokes, drained and chopped (optional)
1-3
Nature’s Fynd Breakfast Patties, cooked per packaging instructions (optional)
Steps
1.
In a 12 inch skillet over medium heat, add oil.
2.
When shimmering, add diced onion. Saute until translucent, 3-4 minutes.
3.
Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 more minute. Add a pinch of salt.
4.
To the same skillet, add the spinach and heat until just wilted, 1-2 minutes. Turn off heat and set aside to cool, 30 minutes.
5.
If wanting a chunkier dip, mix together. If wanting a smoother texture, in the bowl of a food processor, add Nature’s Fynd Dairy-Free Cream Cheese, lemon zest and juice, and nutritional yeast. Mix well or if pureeing, puree until smooth. Add onion, garlic, spinach, and (optional) artichokes and mix or pulse just to combine. Season to taste with salt.
6.
Transfer to a serving bowl. Serve chilled with crackers or veggies.
Tips
If you’d like to add more protein, top the dip with Nature’s Fynd Meatless Breakfast Patties, cooked according to package directions and chopped. Option to add artichokes for a cold take on a spinach artichoke dip.
