Vegan Spinach Pesto Dip

July 24, 2021
Jump to Recipe

I have become obsessed with making dips now! They're so quick and easy to make.

This recipe doesn't require much prep work either, you've just got to quickly roast the pine nuts on the stove for a few minutes and then chuck everything in the blender and bingo bango we have dip!

I also discovered after making this dip how much I enjoy snacking on roasted unsalted cashews! Wow, they are so delicious!




 

Dietary Requirements:

This fabulously green dip is suitable for those with a lactose intolerance, and who are gluten free.
As Basil belongs to the Lamiaceae family and Spinach belongs to the Amaranthaceae family, this dip is nightshade free.
And it is perfect for those following a pescatarian, vegetarian and vegan diet looking for a healthy, homemade dip to add to your platter!

This spinach pesto dip is enjoyed with rice crackers, or dip some carrot and cucumber sticks for an extra healthy snack
