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.

Why you'll love this Vegan Spinach Artichoke Dip:

  • it's rich and creamy
  • it's packed with veggies
  • it's seriously addictive
  • it's filling and nutritious 
  • it's surprisingly healthy
  • it's easy to make
  • it's a good source of protein and fibre
  • it's gluten-free
  • it's nut-free optional
  • it makes a great appetizer for Thanksgiving or game day!
