Vegan Spinach Artichoke Dip (GF)

This Vegan Spinach Artichoke Dip is what appetiser dreams are made of! It’s rich and creamy, full of flavour and secretly healthy!

The base of this Vegan Spinach Artichoke Dip comes not from cream cheese or mayonnaise, but blended white beans! Their naturally creamy texture and neutral flavour makes them a seriously versatile ingredient that’s perfect for making dips – like this Vegan White Bean Queso.

White beans work especially well for dips as they’re not as expensive as cashews, and not as starchy as potatoes.
