Vegan Spinach and Artichoke Dip
You know the dip – creamy, cheesy, slightly smug – only now it’s vegan and acting superior about it. But let’s be honest. Most vegan recipes either taste like wet cardboard or something that regrets being alive. Not this one. This diva dip is rich, tangy, comforting, and will trick your dairy-loving friends into betrayal. Packed with cashew magic, nutritional yeast (aka fairy dust), and bold flavor, it’s basically a guilt-free, cruelty-free showstopper. Whether you’re trying to impress a judgmental vegan date or just snack without bloating into a sad potato, this dip delivers drama in every bite.
