Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 - 3 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 5 ounces fresh baby spinach roughly chopped
- 1 14-ounce can quartered artichoke hearts drained and chopped
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup plain store-bought hummus
- ¼ cup unsweetened, plain coconut yogurt
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 2 teaspoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon coarse salt or more to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Mix the dip base. In a small bowl, whisk the mayo, hummus, yogurt, nutritional yeast and lemon juice together until smooth. Set aside.
- Sauté the aromatics. Heat a skillet to medium and add olive oil. When the olive oil is hot, add garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until the garlic is fragrant.
- Cook the veggies. Add chopped spinach and allow it to cook, stirring frequently, until the spinach has wilted - about 3-4 minutes. Then, add the chopped artichoke hearts.
- Mix the dip. Stir in the dip base, with the salt & pepper, and mix until the spinach and artichokes are completely coated in the creamy mixture. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Season and serve. If needed, adjust seasoning to taste with salt & pepper. Then, transfer to a serving bowl and serve immediately while warm with your favorite dippers.
Notes
- Use vegan mayo to make this fully plant-based, or use regular mayo to keep it just dairy free.
- If using frozen spinach instead of fresh, thaw it completely and squeeze out all excess water before using. You'll need about 1 cup of thawed, drained spinach.
- This dip is best served warm. Reheat leftovers gently on the stove or in a 300°F oven.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
