Ingredients
1 cup raw cashews, soaked overnight
1¼ cups mayonnaise (vegan if needed)
¼ cup water
16 oz frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
13.5 oz artichoke hearts, chopped and drained
⅓ cup onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat Oven: Preheat to 400°F (200°C).
Blend Cashew Base: In a food processor, blend soaked cashews, mayo, and water for 1–2 minutes until creamy.
Mix Dip: Transfer blended mixture to a large bowl. Stir in spinach, artichokes, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper until fully combined.
Bake: Spoon mixture into an oven-proof baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes, until hot and slightly golden on top.
Serve: Serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, cucumber slices, or fresh veggies.
Notes
Optional Dairy Add-In: If not strictly dairy-free, stir in 4 oz soft goat cheese for extra creaminess.
Drain Well: Be sure to squeeze all water from the spinach and artichokes to prevent watery dip.
Vegan Tip: Use a certified vegan mayo.
Make Ahead: Can be prepped in advance and baked just before serving.
