Spinach Artichoke Dip

Spinach Artichoke Dip~such a yummy, crowd pleasing appetizer~

What you'll need to prepare:
  • 1 10 ounce package frozen spinach

  • 1 14.5 ounce can of artichokes

  • "Follow Your Heart" brand Vegenaise

  • "Galaxy Nutrional Foods" Rice Vegan cheese, Mozzarella Flavor

  • Nutritional Yeast (available in bulk at Whole Foods)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Thaw your frozen spinach and drain the artichokes. I like to mash the artichokes a bit so that they are broken up. Combine the artichokes and spinach in a large bowl.

Fold a generous amount of Vegenaise to the mixture~probably about a half a cup.

Shred about a half cup of the mozzarella and add to the mix. I like to sprinkle a good amount of Nutritional Yeast flakes to the dip~taste test frequently.

Pop in your pre-heated oven for about 30 minutes and you're done!

**This dip can be served with tortilla chips if you're in a hurry~OR, or you can whip up my favorite crostinis as an accompaniment:

  • slice up a thin loaf of Italian or French bread and arrange on a baking sheet

  • brush one side of the bread with a mixture of EVOO, oregano, onion powder, basil, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, salt, pepper and melted Soy Garden butter

  • broil at 300 degrees for about 10 minutes or until lightly browned
