About this recipe
I love a good dip. The kind of dip that is healthy, satisfying, and easy to prepare. I made this vegan artichoke spinach dip for the first time and fell in love with it. It was the first time I tried it.
I know it is not the original version, with cream and cheese, but how it turned out delicious.
Ingredients
- Olive oil, onion, garlic
- Artichoke hearts frozen-thawed and drained. I usually buy it at Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s. You could substitute with canned or jarred ones.
- Frozen spinach-thawed, I use frozen spinach because it is fast and easy, but you could definitely use fresh. Substitute with kale if needed.
- Vegan mayonnaise
- Navy beans, from a can, rinsed and drained.
- Dried oregano
- Cholula sauce
- Vegan mozzarella cheese optional
- Vegan sour cream optional

- In a frying pan, add two tablespoons of olive oil, diced onion, and garlic, and sautée until translucent. Add the spinach, the chopped artichoke hearts, and a pinch of salt (a good pinch). Let them in the pan until all the moisture has evaporated.
- Puree the drained can of navy beans, oregano, mayonnaise, two tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and a spoonful of Cholula sauce. Mix well and carefully add to the pan. Mix and bake at 350ºF until golden and delicious.
How to store vegan artichoke spinach dip
- Transfer the dip to an airtight container with a tight-fitting lid. If you don’t have a large container to hold the entire batch of dip, you can divide it into smaller containers or resealable plastic bags.
- Place the container in the refrigerator. The dip should keep for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
- To serve the dip, remove it from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature before serving. You can also microwave it for a few seconds to soften it up before serving.
Can you freeze the spinach artichoke dip?
If you’d like to freeze the dip, transfer it to a freezer-safe container or resealable plastic bag. Squeeze out as much air as possible before sealing the container or bag.
The dip should keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. To thaw, transfer the dip to the refrigerator the night before you serve it and allow it to thaw slowly.
Alternatively, you can place the frozen dip in the microwave and defrost it in 30-second intervals, stirring between intervals, until it is fully thawed. Check for seasoning and adjust if needed.
