Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh spinach, finely chopped
- 1 cup artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 1 cup plant-based cheese, shredded or softened
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise (natural)
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Prepare the Spinach and Artichokes: Wash and finely chop the fresh spinach to ensure smooth texture throughout the dip. Drain the artichoke hearts thoroughly and chop them into bite-sized pieces to distribute flavor evenly.
- Mix the Creamy Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the plant-based cheese, mayonnaise (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), garlic powder (natural), onion powder (natural), black pepper, and natural gelling agent. Stir well until the mixture becomes silky and smooth.
- Combine Everything: Gently fold the chopped spinach and artichokes into the creamy mixture, ensuring everything is evenly coated for a balanced flavor and texture.
- Bake to Perfection: Transfer the dip mixture into a baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly, golden on top, and hot throughout to enhance the flavors.
Notes
- Drain spinach and artichokes thoroughly to avoid a watery dip.
- Use fresh spinach rather than canned or frozen for better moisture and texture.
- Adjust the amount of natural gelling agent to bind the dip without stiffening it.
- Mix gently to keep artichokes pieces intact for a visually appealing dip.
- Let the dip rest a few minutes after baking to thicken slightly before serving.
