Do you ever experience temporary addictions to certain foods? This spinach sauerkraut dip has been my craving for the past week. Thankfully it’s real good for you.
Do you experience temporary addictions to certain foods? The spinach sauerkraut dip pictured above has been my craving for the past week.
It all started when Christy brought over a ridiculously good artichoke dip. I couldn’t get enough of it. When all heads were turned, I dug into it with gusto.
Later in the week I began dreaming about said dip.
Obsessively.
Christy said she had used sauerkraut and a little mayo. Driven, to the kitchen I went to create something like it and this is what I came up with. It was so fast. It was so easy. This Spinach Sauerkraut Dip really hit the spot. And it was guilt-free (adjust the mayo to your level of “guilt”). I ate the entire bowl.
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 cups frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed of excess water
- 1-1/2 cup sauerkraut (get a live one with live cultures)
- 2-4 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise (or mayo of choice)
Instructions
- Place all ingredients into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the "S" blade. Pulse to the texture of pesto. Want it thinner? Add a little of the sauerkraut brine. Alternatively, and what I do, place all ingredients into a narrow and deep jar. Grab an immersion blender and blend to the texture of pesto.

I make my own sauerkraut, and now must try this dip. What did you dip in it?
Hi Stephanie, when I am feeling like a good girl—celery. When I am not—corn chips, lots of corn chips 🙂 I also had some over steamed rice. Yum! xo
This is a great and simple recipe I would definitely try! Planning to serve this to my family one of these days. I want them to start enjoying vegetables like I do. One question though, could I also use cream cheese instead of Mayo? Thanks!

Kim, I bet cream cheese would be yummy if for those who aren’t dairy free. It’d make it nice and thick. Great idea, thanks for sharing. xoLexie
I make my own saurkraut too! except with red cabbage… Maybe I could try a saurkraut, mayo and BEET dip? I think green and purple would be a little funny…
Frederique, oh I bet that would be delicious. I think I will try that. I am trying to keep my hormones in balance and my health coach suggested to up my beet intake. Thanks for the super idea. Agreed, green + purple = brown, ha! xoLexie
Hi Lexie, Would this work with fresh spinach?
