This past weekend, we had our dear friend Katie Kaiser from Stanford visit. In addition to being a great friend, she is one of the most phenomenal cooks I have ever encountered — as I still remember all her dinner parties during Business School and the meals she put together. So I asked her if we could cook together so I could learn some of her tips, skills, and recipes. POT OF GOLD! We cooked up a storm and she taught me so much — stay tuned for her various recipes that will be featured on the blog, Thank you, Kaiser! We love you! And so here is one of her recipes, delicious Vegan Spinach Dip!
Ingredients:
Ingredients
Tools (plus a cuisinart)
* Bag of Spinach
* 1 clove of garlic
* 1/2 cup of olive oil
* 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs
* 1/2 cup of raw almonds
* 1/2 cup of water
* zest from a full lemon
* juice from half a lemon
* salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Roast the almonds for 7 minutes
Breadcrumbs

Clumpy paste
Green! Spinach! Power! Muscles!
Zest (of life)
Blanch the spinach
Squeeze out the liquid
In cuisinart, add all the ingredients together.
Add bread crumb mixture
Blend all together
Check out the cream-less creaminess!
So good you can just eat solo with a spoon
Or you can be more sophisticated and make some pita chips
Cut into triangles
Pretty polygons
Oh me oh my
The dip tastes so creamy and rich, but there is no cream! No cheese! No milk! Not only is it super healthy and colorful, but delicious, too! It is a huge hit as an appetizer before dinner, or served at a party (HINT — New Year’s Eve get together?) Have a great weekend — and if you are traveling, best of luck!
This looks delicious! Must try this for my holiday party!!
I just decided to do the vegan lifestyle…so glad i found this post! I will have to try this out as one of my snacks! Thanks for the great post!
