This dip is excellllllllllllllleeennnt. I didnt tell anyone there was tofu in it... and it was enjoyed!!!! I told them the next day that it had tofu in it and I got a lot of silly faces hahaha :-) I served it with raw veggies and some fancy wheat crackers...and a variety of other crackers as well. It was a great dip that I will make again!!!

I must agree with previous reviewer, there isn't enough tofu to make this dip creamy. Or perhaps I squeezed to much liquid out of my spinach. I only used 1 tablespoon of lemon juice but otherwise followed recipe exactly. My little chopper would not blend so I added aprox. 2 tablespoons of sour cream then it blended perfectly. I was out of tofu or I would have used more of it. I also agree with yogi this is an excellent base for a dip but feel it needs a little tweeking. Thanks for posting PanNam, I will play with this because I love spinach dip.

You really can't tell this dip is made with tofu! There's just enough in it to make the dip creamy. I did think it was a bit too lemony (I used fresh lemon juice) and ours had too much spinach (hard to believe I said that cause I love spinach, but all I could really taste was spinach and lemon.) I'll be making this again because it's a great basic dip, I just need to change it around a bit for my tastes.
