Spinach Artichoke Dip

This cheesy dip makes the perfect party dish.  We use it for toasted cheese sandwich filling or as a topping for baked potatoes or pasta with grilled veggies. The combinations are never ending.

Ingredients:

Cheese Sauce

½ cup raw cashews

1 ½ cup plant based milk

1 tablespoon miso paste

5 tablespoons tapioca starch (tapioca flour) No Substitutions Here!!

2 tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon lemon juice

¼ teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)

 Vegetable Filling

1 cup artichoke hearts, chopped

½ cup red onion, finely diced

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups chopped frozen spinach (you can also use fresh here too)

¼ cup plant based milk

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Place the cheese mixture into a high powered blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
3. In a saucepan, whisk the cheese mixture over medium heat until thick and bubbly. It will appear to get lumpy but if you are patient, it will become evenly thickened and stretchy. That is the unique part of tapioca starch, it creates a thick and stretchy consistency!  It should take about 5 minutes to cook.
4. Fold the filling mixture into the cheese sauce until the ingredients are completely combined. Place the ingredients into an oven safe 8 x 8 inch baking dish and bake for 20 minutes.
5. Once fully cooked, broil for 3 minutes or until the top of the cheese mixture is golden brown. Serve with bread, chips, or veggies.
