    💡 The recipe in a nutshell

    • Vegan (dairy-free & no eggs)
    • Only 4 Ingredients
    • Easy-to-make
    • Whole Foods Plant Based 
    • Healthy & Oil-free
    • Versatile: use as spread, dip, or pesto!
    • Delicious!

    📋 Ingredients

    Baby Artichoke Hearts: What would an artichoke dip recipe be without artichokes? We recommend using Reese's Delicate Baby Artichoke Hearts, as they are excellent in quality and flavor, while still being affordable.

    Silken Tofu: creates a creamy dairy-free base for our dip, while providing healthy protein, vitamins, and minerals. Using silken tofu allows this dip to be oil-free, but if wished, swap it out for white beans or oil-based vegan mayo and sour cream.

    Baby Spinach: compliments the flavor of artichokes, and adds nutrients, texture, and color to the dip.

    Miso Paste: Adding miso will give this artichoke dip a fabulous umami flavor!

    Optional add-ins: If you want to bring this dip to the next level you can add nutritional yeast, garlic (fresh or powder), lemon juice, olive oil, and/or vegan parmesan to taste.

    💭 Common questions

    Is artichoke dip gluten-free? Artichoke dip is gluten-free. If buying a store-bought variety or ordering in a restaurant, make sure to read the nutrition labels first or ask your waiter.

    Is artichoke dip vegan? Artichoke dip is not always vegan. This depends on the ingredients. Sometimes dairy products such as parmesan, or sour cream are added to the dip. Our 4 ingredient artichoke dip recipe is entirely vegan, and even whole-foods plant-based!

    Can artichoke dip be made in advance? Yes, artichoke dip can be made in advance. You can either combine all ingredients in your food processor and wait on baking it. Store in an air-tight container for up to 2 days before serving, remove and bake shortly before serving. Or, prepare the dip and bake immediately. Then, store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 2 days, and serve cold or shortly reheat before serving.

    What can I use instead of tofu? While tofu is a great source of plant-based protein, you can use white beans or a mix of vegan mayo and sour cream instead.

    🥣 Storage

    How to store spinach artichoke dip? Store leftover spinach dip in an air-tight container where it keeps fresh for 3 to 5 days. 

    Can you freeze artichoke dip? Yes, artichoke dip can be frozen. Store in a freezer-safe air-tight container and freeze for up to 3 months. Do not freeze hot, let it come to room temperature first. Keep in mind that freezing and thawing the dip may alter the texture. Give it a good stir after thawing.

      Great dip! I had so many artichokes that I had no clue what to do with and your recipe was the answer. It is so good, that I a making the last big batch to end them all and bring them to our Saturday brunch with friends.
