• Not only is it vegan but it’s also dairy free, plant based, Whole30 and paleo.

• It’s made without tofu and without cream cheese and instead uses ingredients like cashews, coconut milk, and nutritional yeast to give it a creamy, cheesy flavour.

Key ingredients and substitutions:

• Raw cashews – cashews are used to help make the most creamy sauce for this spinach dip while keeping it dairy free.
• Coconut milk – coconut milk is blended with the raw cashews to make the most creamy and rich sauce without having to use any butter, cream or milk. I recommend using full fat coconut milk for the best taste.
• Nutritional yeast – nutritional yeast is the secret to giving this artichoke dip a cheesy flavour, without any cheese!
• Spinach – you can use either fresh or frozen spinach to make this dip. It adds healthy green veggies to this dip and gives it a pretty color too.
• Artichoke hearts – canned artichoke hearts add a delicious flavour and texture to this dip recipe.

Step one:

Place all the ingredients for the sauce into your blender and blend until smooth.

Now place a large pan on the stove on medium heat and add the avocado oil and onion and sauté for a few minutes.

Season the vegetables with salt and pepper and turn off the burner.

Then transfer all the ingredients to a casserole dish and bake it in the oven for 10-15 minutes, until it’s heated throughout. Then serve and enjoy!

Chef’s tips:

• You can use either fresh or frozen spinach to make this dip. If you use frozen, you will just need to sauté it for slightly longer than if you use fresh.
• Make sure you drain all the water from the canned artichoke hearts (this will help ensure the dip doesn’t turn out runny).
• It stores really well in the fridge and makes great leftovers.
• It can also be used as a sauce for casserole dishes.
• I used canned artichoke hearts for this recipe which are easy to find all year round in the grocery store.

How to serve:

Serve this dip with crackers, chips or chopped raw vegetables. This dip also makes a great topping for sandwiches, burgers, meat and fish dishes too. It can be served both warm or cold, whatever you prefer.

How to store:

Store any leftover dip in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 7 days. Reheat it when you are ready to enjoy it again.
