Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw unsalted cashews , soaked for 15 mins in boiling or very hot water
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil , or olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic , finely minced
  • 1 small yellow onion , finely diced
  • 4 ½ cups baby spinach
  • 14-15 oz can artichoke hearts (in water and not oil) , drained and roughly chopped
  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk , or preferred milk
  • ¼ cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tsp organic white miso , sub with tahini for paleo and Whole30
  • ¾ tsp fine sea salt
  • ½ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • ½ cup vegan cream cheese , softened, such as Kite-Hill or Violife. You can also use regular creamy cheese if you're not dairy-free.
  • 2 tbsp vegan parmesan-style cheese + 1/2 cup for topping, omit for paleo and Whole30. We like Violife or Chao.
  • fresh chopped parsley

For Serving

  • toasted gluten-free baguette, plaintain chips, gf chips, gf pitas and/or fresh veggies

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.

  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and cook until softened, about 5-8 minutes.

    Add the spinach and artichokes to the pan and continue to sauté until the greens are wilted - about 4-7 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat.

  3. Meanwhile, drain the cashews and add to a high-speed blender. Add the milk, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, miso, salt, pepper, cream cheese and 2 tablespoons of parmesan. Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy.

  4. Add the spinach and artichoke mixture and pulse 1-2 times for a chunky texture.

  5. Transfer the mixture to a medium/large oval or rectangle baking dish and top with 1/2 cup of parmesan.

    Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly and the cheese is melty. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and freshly cracked black pepper.

  6. Serve with your favorite toasted baguette, gf chips, gf pitas and fresh vegetables.
