Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup plant-based cheese
  • 1/2 cup plant-based mayonnaise (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Salt, to taste (optional)

Optional Variations

  • Chopped jalapeños or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick
  • Fresh basil or dill for herb infusion
  • Toasted pine nuts or walnuts for nutty texture
  • Roasted garlic cloves instead of garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the spinach: Sauté fresh spinach in a lightly oiled pan over medium heat until wilted and moisture is released. Drain any excess liquid to prevent a watery dip.
  2. Chop the artichoke hearts: Drain and finely chop the artichoke hearts into small pieces that blend well into the dip while maintaining pleasant bites.
  3. Combine creamy ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, blend together the plant-based cheese, plant-based mayonnaise (natural), garlic powder (natural), onion powder (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, and natural gelling agent until smooth and creamy.
  4. Mix in spinach and artichokes: Gently fold the sautéed spinach and chopped artichoke hearts into the creamy mixture, ensuring even distribution without breaking the creamy texture.
  5. Season and adjust: Add freshly cracked black pepper and a pinch of salt if desired. Taste and adjust seasoning gradually to suit preference.
  6. Chill or serve warm: For best texture, refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving. Alternatively, warm gently in the oven until bubbly and golden on top.

Notes

  • Use fresh spinach and artichokes for optimal flavor and texture.
  • Drain excess moisture from sautéed spinach to avoid watery dip.
  • Adjust salt and pepper gradually to enhance flavor without overpowering.
  • Serve chilled or warm based on preference or occasion.
  • Natural gelling agent maintains creamy and stable consistency without artificial additives.
