And the best thing is that its so much healthier than regular spinach artichoke dip. Instead of sour cream, mayonnaise, and Parmesan, this vegan spinach artichoke dip calls for white beans and cashews.

The recipe for this healthy spinach artichoke dip is pretty easy! Its ready in just 15 minutes.
STEP 1: Drain the canned white beans and put them in a blender together with the cashews. If you want to make it a bit easier for your blender, you can soak them in water for 4-6 hours before using them.
STEP 2: Once youre done blending the cashews and the white beans, heat some oil in a large pan and saut the onion and cook the spinach for a couple of minutes.
STEP 3: Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl, season with salt and pepper and youre good to go.
Recipe Notes:
- The cashews you use for this dip should be unsalted and not roasted.
- Its very important to use a good high speed blender for this spinach artichoke dip. Otherwise the base that is made of cashews and white beans wont become as creamy.
- I used a Vitamix and I didnt soak the cashews. However, if you want to you can soak them for 4-6 hours or even overnight if you have enough time.
