Warm Spinach-Artichoke Dip (Vegan)
"A Chloe Coscarelli recipe. No mayo or dairy, a healthy version of the classic. Nutritional yeast (NOT brewer's yeast or baking yeast) give it the umami flavor of Parmesan cheese."

I LOVE this recipe! Being vegan, I never have the opportunity to enjoy spinach and artichoke dip. This recipe is perfect - the dip is flavorful and creamy, and my non-vegan friends even love it! Nutritional yeast flakes and tofu are high in protein and low in fat. In a typical spinach and artichoke dip, you get a lot of fat with little protein. So even if you aren't vegan, I would highly recommend going this route for a dip like this!

<p>This site has gotten so horribly bad over the past couple of years, I have stopped using it to manage my recipes and have gone over to using another one, which I have been forbidden to mention on Food.com. It's no secret that there are competitors; send me a message if you are in the same boat and would like to know. For now, I only frequent a few of the forums and that's it. The Titanic has sailed!</p>
