Does anybody else feel super accomplished when they successfully make or stumble upon a “non-vegan” dish that was made vegan???? If so, you’re going to LOVE this recipe! Although, I was never really a cheese lover. I know – gasp. I could never keep my hands off of Spinach Artichoke Dip when going out to restaurants. Dipping warm pitas into the ooey-gooey goodness of the warm dip … yuumm. Now that I have this recipe for Easy Spinach Artichoke Dip I am one happy gal.

I am so excited to share this recipe with you and also cannot wait to bring out this dish at Thanksgiving, Christmas, parties, and other gatherings … and then tell everyone it is vegan AFTER they chow down 😉 . This entire dish is accomplished in under an hour (including prep, bake, and clean up)! Making it easy to include into your day if you wanted to give it a try. You’ll need everything in the picture below: salt, pepper, dry herb, a food processor or blender, an oven safe bowl, pita (or something else to pair with the dip), and of course an oven to heat the Easy Spinach Artichoke Dip.

Even if you’re not Vegan or Vegetarian, this recipe is a healthy alternative to the classic dip.

I have to warn you … I seriously could not stop eating this batch. Initially, I was thinking of freezing half of the dip for a later date – that did not happen. Half of the batch was already gone by dinner so the rest will be split up between snacking for the next day or two. It is sooo good – I could not help myself. I warmed up pita bread, sliced it into triangles, and used that to dip into the Easy Spinach Artichoke Dip – yum!

Give this recipe a try and let me know what you pair it with! I hope you guys like it as much as I did.
