Dairy Free Cashew Spinach Artichoke Dip
It’s time for Super Bowl recipes!! To be honest I am not a huge football fan, I am a tailgate fan. This year I think I am rooting for the Rams because haven’t the Patriots won enough?? Okay okay maybe I should just stay neutral because… Tom Brady. I bet Tom would love this dip because he’s totes dairy free. I love this dip because it is SO easy to make. As long as you remember to soak your cashews, you can throw it together in 10 minutes and impress everyone with your healthy app addition. I always think it’s funny that (at least in my friend groups), everyone eats healthy day to day but we come together for events and go HAM on all the most glutinous treats. I know a healthy addition to the group is always appreciated and this dip is just veggies and nuts sooo basically can’t get better than that!
So try this recipe then head back here and comment on what you think! We will be watching with friends and Ruthie already has a Patriots outfit thanks to her Boston side of the family! We will have to duke it out but at least one of us will come home a winner right? Now excuse me while I go fully have this dip for dinner. NO SHAME!
I just love tortilla chips – this recipe is so great with a salty chip!
Give us all the dips, we have soooo many dip recipe so here are a few more for you to try:

Sounds scrumptious! Do you think you could use fresh spinach, sauteed? The thought of frozen spinach makes me gag–sorry. Childhood issues – haha
If you use fresh just saute it until wilted then measure!
I used fresh spinach and it turned out great! Be warned that it took a one pound costco sized package of fresh spinach to get a little more than one cup wilted leaves.
Oh i bet!! Haha i’m glad it worked!!
Would this work with raw almonds or walnuts instead of cashews?
Unfortunately i don’t think so. I haven’t tried it though!
Do the cashews have to be raw?
I haven’t tried roasted ones but I assume they would work as long as they aren’t salted. Let me know if you try!
This dip is delicious!! I just made some for our super bowl gathering but I’m scared it won’t make it because I can’t stop doing dipping. I used fresh spinach but zapped it in the microwave with a paper towel to cover. It worked perfectly. Can’t wait for the game!!

So glad!!
Just made this recipe for the superbowl! Tastes just like the fattening version but now I can indulge knowing it’s made with wholesome ingredients!! Made in a blender and just had to use a bit more coconut milk and some water. Thanks for a great recipe!
