Notes

Tips for Making Vegan Spinach Artichoke Dip
  • I prefer to make the cashew cream sauce using a high-speed blender. This one is my favorite! It helps to fully blend the soaked cashews into the sauce to create a smooth and creamy texture.
  • You'll need a skillet to sauté the vegetables and combine the cream sauce and then bake in the oven.
  • You can prep the dip ahead of time and store it covered in the refrigerator until you are ready to pop it in the oven to broil.
  • You can store this spinach artichoke vegan dip in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
  • Freeze for 2-3 months.
  • To reheat your vegan spinach artichoke dip, toss it in the oven for 10-15 minutes at 375F, or until warmed through.
