Spinach Dip

INGREDIENTS
1 tbsp olive oil
½ cup finely chopped onion
1 to 2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup packed fresh spinach, steamed and drained
3 tbsp Tofutti sour cream
1 tbsp lemon or orange juice
1 cup ground raw cashews, finely ground in a food processor
¼ tsp. sea salt
Fresh cracked pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS:
In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat, and then add the onions and sauté until soft – about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté a few minutes longer. Turn off the heat and set aside.

Place the steamed, drained spinach, and all the other ingredients listed in a food processor and pulse until they are well blended.

Place mixture in a serving bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate before serving.

Enjoy!
