Ingredients

  • 4 cloves garlic - minced
  • 1 small yellow onion - diced
  • 2 cans quartered artichoke hearts - drained & excess liquid pressed out with hands
  • 2 cups spinach
  • 1 cup cashews - soaked in very hot water for 20-30 minutes (OR in room temperature water overnight)
  • 1 cup nondairy milk - (I usually use cashew milk)
  • 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp lemon juice
  • ⅓ cup nutritional yeast
  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • Optional: ¼ cup vegan parmesan

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F.
  • Sauté veggies: Heat a medium nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add your garlic, onion, and a splash of water to prevent sticking. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, adding more water to prevent sticking as needed.
    Add the artichokes to the pan, cook for another 3 minutes.(Continue to add more water as needed).
    Toss in the spinach and continue to cook for 1 minute, or until the spinach starts to wilt. Remove pan from heat and set aside.
  • Blend base: In a high powered blender, combine the soaked cashews, nondairy milk, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, garlic salt, dijon mustard, and optional vegan parmesan (if using). Blend until smooth.
  • Combine with sautéed veggies: Reserve 1 cup of the cooked spinach-artichoke mixture and set aside. Add the remaining mixture to the blender and pulse a few times to incorporate.
    Fold the reserved artichoke-spinach mixture into the blended dip with a spatula until evenly combined.
  • Bake: Transfer your spinach artichoke dip to an oven-safe dish. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden.
  • Serve warm and enjoy! This dip is excellent served with toasted bread, crackers, tortilla chips, or fresh veggies.
