How to Make Vegan Spinach Artichoke Dip

Rinse your soaked cashews and drain off the liquid. Place them into a food processor and add in the nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and almond milk.

Blend together until smooth.

Place the frozen spinach into a skillet over medium heat and stir until evenly thawed and the liquid has completely evaporated.
Add in drained and roughly chopped artichoke hearts, stirring until any excess liquid is reduced to help prevent a watery dip.

Pour the cashew mixture into the skillet and stir to combine, heat the dip thoroughly, and when it begins to bubbly, remove it from the heat.

Serve warm.

FAQs

How long is vegan spinach dip good for?

This dip can be kept stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days. I have not frozen this dip or attempted to so I do not know how well it would hold up to being frozen, but I do not think that I would recommend it.

What to serve with warm spinach artichoke dip

You can serve your dip with tortilla chips, cut carrot sticks, or celery sticks work well too. If you want a wide variety of items to dip with (vegan and nonvegan) then options like Triscuit crackers, wheat thins, and toasted baguette slices would work well to hold up to the dip when scooping.

How to make spinach artichoke dip thicker

If you would like your dip to end up even thicker in texture you can mix together 2 tablespoons of cornflour with the dip while it’s still cooking on the stovetop. This will help to thicken the dip without changing the flavor or texture.
