Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups raw cashews soaked in water 4 to 8 hours, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup silken tofu preferably a refrigerated variety, and not a shelf-stable one
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper hot sauce
- ¾ teaspoon salt plus more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup unflavored soy or almond milk
- 1 cup frozen spinach thawed and squeezed to remove excess water
- 1 cup frozen artichoke hearts thawed and squeezed to remove excess water
- ¼ cup chopped fresh chives plus more for topping
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes plus more for topping
Instructions
- Place the cashews, tofu, garlic, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, hot sauce, ¾ teaspoon of salt, and black pepper into the bowl of a food processor fitted with an S-blade. Blend until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- With the food processor running, drizzle in the milk, using just enough to get the mixture to a creamy consistency, with a thickness like that of sour cream.
- Add spinach, artichoke hearts, chives, and red pepper flakes to the food processor. Pulse just until the spinach and artichokes are finely chopped and fully incorporated into the base.
- Taste test and season with additional salt, if desired.
- To heat the dip, scoop it into a saucepan and place over medium heat. Heat, stirring constantly, just until the dip reaches the desired temperature. You can add a splash or two of milk if it begins to dry out. Remove from heat, transfer to a bowl and serve with crackers, bread, or veggies.
