This Dairy-Free Spinach Artichoke Dip is made with whole grain oat milk, for a lightened up version of a heavy classic. It’s hard to find dairy-free, vegan dips that everyone enjoys! I tested it out on non-suspecting volunteers at a potluck, and they didn’t even notice that it was missing the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise that typically makes up a Spinach Artichoke Dip.
I served it warm, straight-from-the-oven, with grain-free tortilla chips. It would also be great paired with gluten-free pita, naan bread, or raw vegetables. If you’d like to make a meal out of it: add this dip to baked chicken breast in the last few minutes of cooking!
Oat milk offers a great creaminess without heaviness. Plus, it’s dairy-free and vegan! For the ultimate sugar-free, clean, dish I use Willa’s Unsweetened Original Oat Milk. The cashew cream base mimics a heavier sauce, and provides healthy oils and minerals.
