Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cups organic baby spinach leaves, tightly packed
  • 2–3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 cup roasted and unsalted cashews
  • 1/3 cup  unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup nondairy mayonnaise (try Vegenaise)
  • 1 (12-oz.)  container organic silken or soft tofu
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 tsp. finely ground black pepper
  • 2 tsp. dried minced onion
  • 1 can whole water chestnuts, diced
  • Round loaf of organic bread, hollowed out to make a bowl

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  • Heat a sauté pan over medium-low heat and add olive oil. Add the spinach and garlic and sauté until wilted, about 3 to 4 minutes. Tilt the pan and drain off the additional liquid.
  • In a high-powered blender or food processor, place the cashews, almond milk, and lemon juice and blend until smooth and creamy. Add the nondairy mayonnaise, silken tofu, sea salt, pepper, and onion. Pulse about 7 to 10 times. Add the cooked spinach and pulse until slightly green but not fully incorporated.
  • Fold in the water chestnuts. Transfer the entire mixture to a heat-proof baking dish. Bake about 15 to 20 minutes, or until warmed through.
  • Serve inside the bread bowl with raw veggies. Reserve the middle of the bread for dipping.

Makes 6 to 8 servings

“Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights?” READ MORE
