Spinach Dip



In an effort to try to eat healthier, I have recently found some recipes using healthy ingredients that are actually quite good.  When we are eating out, my family likes to get chips and dip for an appetizer and spinach dip is one of our favorites.  Spinach is healthy, but all of the other ingredients that are usually in the dip are not the best for you.  When I came across this recipe at Plant-Powered Kitchen I wanted to try it out and it was SO good!  It doesn't take long to make and has only healthy ingredients, so it was a win all the way around.

Ingredients:
3/4 cup raw cashews
3/4 cup plain unsweetened almond milk (can also use soy)
3 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 garlic cloves
3/4 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp dry ground mustard
black pepper to taste
2 cups frozen artichoke hearts
2 cups (loosely packed) spinach leaves

Directions:
1.  Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2.  In blender, add all ingredients except artichokes and spinach and blend until very smooth.
3.  Add artichoke hearts and spinach and PULSE through until desired chunky texture is reached.
4.  Transfer mixture to baking dish and bake 20 minutes.
