If you are looking for a cheezy and spicy vegan spinach dip, this might just be the perfect recipe for you. It is whole foods plant-based all the way as veggies and of course spinach leaves are turned into a smooth and creamy dip. Think of it as a Green Vegan Nacho Cheese Sauce.
Take a saucepan and add the washed leaves. Pour the piping hot water on the leaves and wait for a minute. Drain the water.
