Low-Fat Hot Artichoke and Spinach Dip

"You won't believe this isn't loaded with fat when you taste it! No one even knows it as tofu in it! Substitute the parmesan cheese with veggie mozzarella cheese (grated) for a dairy-free version"

  1. The reviewers were right! So glad I trusted them. I took this to a party and crossed my fingers that it would deliver on flavor and texture and it did!! I didn't tell the ladies until several had take a second taste. After I told them it was tofu, they were so surprised. One lady who was holding back, decided to have some after all. She is watching her calories/fat. ~ I also made it for my vegetarian daughter for dinner one night. She loved it! I usually put a light layer of mozzarella cheese on mine the final 5 minutes of baking.
     
  2. This is really good for a low-fat dip. Would never guess it was tofu.
     
  3. OH WOW! I went to a party and needed to bring an appetizer. I made this (served it will melba toasts) and the bowl was scraped clean! I didn't tell anyone (not even my husband) that there was tofu in it and not one person could tell! haha! I am keeping that a secret and will be making this again and again. It is a great substitution for the fully loaded spinach artichoke dip. I am so excited about this recipe! Thanks for posting!!
     
  4. Great dip!! My boyfriend even couldnt tell that it was made from tofu!! I think next time I will use the same amount of parmesan cheese and add some mozza to it I will be making this one again, thanks a lot!
     
  5. This came out great, made for New Years Eve potluck, served with Tostitos. The silken tofu has the same consistency as mayonaisse, and was not detectable. I made the recipe as written and added a little low fat cream cheese and a shake of worstershire sauce. I omitted the onion powder and paprika. Another guest brought a full-fat artichoke/spinach dip, but mine was far more popular.

I am a chef on board a luxury yacht, cruising the Caribbean. I love to experiment with the new ingredients I find locally as we travel. I have limited storage, fridge and freezer space, so have learned to be extremely versatile! I also have to be quite organized as I can't just pop out to grab a forgotten ingredient! Often we are days from the nearest shops! I have many other duties on board, so I favour recipes that are quick and easy!
