Ingredients:

3/4 cup almond milk
180g
3 tbsp lemon juice
44g
1 tbsp garlic
8g
1 tsp salt
6g
1/2 tsp mustard
2.50g
1/4 tsp black pepper
0.52g
3/4 cup cashew
100g
2 cups artichokes
340g
3 cups spinach
90g
8 stalks celery
320g

Instructions:

1. Soak Cashews:
- Place the 3/4 cup cashews in a bowl and cover with water. Allow them to soak for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to soften them for blending. Drain and rinse before use.
2. Prepare the Spinach and Artichokes:
- Defrost and drain the artichokes if using frozen. Ensure they are chopped into bite-sized pieces.
- Wash the spinach thoroughly and roughly chop the leaves.
3. Make the Cashew Base:
- In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked and drained cashews, 3/4 cup almond milk, 3 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp minced garlic, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp mustard, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
- Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
4. Combine the Ingredients:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped artichokes and spinach.
- Pour the cashew cream over the vegetables and mix until everything is well incorporated.
5. Heat the Dip:
- Transfer the mixture to a medium skillet or saucepan.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the dip is warm and the spinach has wilted, approximately 5-7 minutes.
6. Serve:
- Transfer the warm dip to a serving bowl.
- Arrange the celery stalks around the bowl for dipping.
7. Enjoy:
- Serve immediately while warm. Perfect for dipping with celery stalks, crackers, or any veggies of your choice.

Tips:

- Soak the cashews in hot water for at least 30 minutes before blending to ensure a smooth, creamy texture.

- Consider using fresh spinach and artichokes for a more vibrant flavor, though canned or frozen options work well too.

- For a thicker dip, reduce the amount of almond milk or add it gradually until you achieve the desired consistency.

- Feel free to add nutritional yeast if you want a cheesy flavor without any dairy.

- Blend the cashew mixture thoroughly to avoid any grainy texture in the dip.

- Serve the dip warm by baking it in an oven-safe dish at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes, or until it's heated through.

This vegan spinach artichoke dip with cashews is not only easy to make but also a healthier alternative to traditional dips. It is creamy, flavorful, and sure to be a hit among both vegans and non-vegans alike. Enjoy this delicious dip with your favorite veggies or crackers!
