Vegan Avo Goddess Spinach Dip

The Original Avo Goddess Spinach Dip Recipe

This is the recipe my husband came up with when we first went raw. This recipe does not include the dates. It does include nutritional yeast flakes and a little sea salt. You can find nutritional yeast flakes at many small health food stores. I have seen yeast flakes at Whole Foods, Akin's Natural health Food Store.

Ingredients:

 Spices: tiny clove garlic, 1/2 tsp salt, few cranks black pepper, 1tbsp dill weed, 1tbsp parsley, 1/4 to 1/8 cup nutritional yeast flakes
Vegetables 1/4 sweet onion, small can of water chestnuts drained (optional), 3 large carrots, 8 oz chopped spinach, 4 large avocados

Food process the carrots, water chestnuts, onion, spices, yeast flakes and spinach until mixed well. Add in the 4 avocados and food process until everything is mixed well.

Serve with a side of any chopped veggies that you like. I like how this dip tastes on carrot sticks and celery sticks!

Salt Free Raw Vegan Avo Goddess Spinach Dip with Dates

This is the recipe I came up with without any added salt. The dates really help to bring out the great flavors and I don't miss the salt in this recipe.

Ingredients: 

10-12 pitted dates soaked for a few hours in a tiny amount of plain water. In the video, I forgot to mention that you need to soak the dates before you use them. Soaking them helps them mix up better. Dates can be on the dry side and hard to blend and mix if they are not soaked ahead of time. You don't want to use a large amount of water to soak them, just a small amount. You will also be using the soak water for added sweetness. In the video, I said to use 5 dates, but the recipe I made wasn't quite sweet enough. I have since made it with about 10 soaked dates and the flavor comes out much better.I have also decided to take out he lime juice. I decided that it didn't really add much to the recipe.

4 large carrots, 10-12 small pitted dates and soak water, 1/4 sweet onion, 4 avocados, 2 small roma tomatos, 8oz chopped spinach, 1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes (optional), 1tbsp dill weed, 1 tbsp parsley, half clove garlic (optional) a couple cranks of black pepper (optional)

Food process the 2 roma tomatoes, dates and soak water all the spices and (optional yeast flakes)
Make sure you food process these ingredients first or your food processor won't be able to mix everything together.

Next Add in the carrots and spinach and process them until they are mixed well.

Next add in the avocados and process until entire mixture is mixed well.

Serve with a side of any chopped veggies that you like. I like how this dip tastes on carrot sticks and celery sticks and romaine!
