Creamy Vegan Artichoke and Collard Green Dip
This healthier twist on artichoke dip is SO creamy, made without dairy, and takes 15 minutes to come together! I love that it seems very fancy but doesn’t require a ton of work. It is a great one to impress guests during football parties or as an appetizer on Thanksgiving!
Spinach is the typical green used in artichoke dip, but I decided to switch it up with collard greens! In my opinion, collard greens are a very underrated and deserve a moment in the spotlight.
There are just 5 main ingredients in this recipe along with spices to make the flavor pop!
- Artichoke Hearts- keep it simple and get them in a can
- Collard Greens- an easy way to get in nutritious greens
- Cashews-for the creamy goodness
- Garlic- 4 whole cloves
- Nutritional yeast-gives it a cheesy taste
