Dairy-free Spinach Dip

This Dairy-free Spinach Artichoke Dip was probably one of the most challenging recipes I have had in a while. My desire was to create a dip completely free of dairy and also cashews but still give you that satisfying creamy and cheesy flavor we all love about spinach artichoke dip.

I used avocado, coconut milk and nutritional yeast to mimic the flavors of traditional artichoke dip.

It took many tries but I did finally get this artichoke dip tasting exactly as I wanted. Not only is this spinach artichoke dip packed full of flavor but also incredibly creamy and decadent. Reminiscent of those restaurant style artichoke dips that we have all come to know and love. However, so much more nutritious than what you can find in a restaurant. 

Lastly, this spinach and artichoke dip also tastes great on top of some shredded chicken.
