    Spinach and Cucumber Spread or Dip

    Published: Dec 12, 2012 · Updated: Mar 4, 2021 · This post may contain affiliate links.

    One of my old favorites, this tasty spinach spread, with hints of dill and crisp cucumber, never loses its charm. Serve with fresh bread, whole-grain crackers, crispbreads, or raw veggies. This is compatible with carrots, cauliflower, bell pepper, and celery. Photos by Evan Atlas.

    Makes: about 2 cups

    • ½ cup finely diced cucumber — use a very crisp organic or hothouse variety
    • 4 to 6 ounces fresh baby spinach
    • 12.3-ounce package firm silken tofu
    • Juice of ½ lemon or lime, or more, to taste
    • 1 scallion, green part only, chopped
    • 1 to 2 tablespoons fresh dill leaves (or a few sprigs), to taste (used dried dill only in a pinch — about 1 teaspoon)
    • 2 teaspoons salt-free mixed seasoning blend, more or less to taste
    • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

    Spread the chopped cucumber over two or three layers of paper towel. Cover with another two layers, then place a cutting board or some other weight on top. Let stand while proceeding with the recipe.

    Place the spinach in the food processor and process until smoothly pureed. Add the remaining ingredients (except the cucumber) and process until the spinach is well incorporated with the tofu, but not completely pureed.

    Transfer to a serving bowl and stir in the cucumber. Serve at once or cover and refrigerate until needed.
