Naturally GF
Serves 6
Prep time: 10 minutes
total time: 40 minutes
2 pounds fresh spinach, tough stems removed
8 ounces silken tofu, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup reduced-fat vegan mayonnaise
1/2 tsp minced garlic
1 tbsp. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp. sea salt
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add spinach and cook for 2 minutes. Drain in a fine-mesh strainer, pressing with a large spoon to release as much water as possible. Finely chop spinach and transfer to a large bowl.
2. Process tofu, mayonnaise, garlic, parsley, lemon juice, oil, salt and pepper in a blender or food processor fitted with a metal blade until smooth.
3. Pour tofu mixture into a medium saucepan and gently cook over medium-low heat, making sure mixture doesn't boil. Once warmed through, remove from heat, pour over spinach, and gently mix together.
Serve immediately with chips, tortillas, crackers, veggies or gf breads.
