You know I love a good vegan dip! Nothing’s more quick and easy than dunking veggies and pita wedges into something creamy and delicious. Especially when it’s made from scratch!

This vegan spinach & artichoke dip is one of those classic restaurant appies that everyone always wants to order. My is just as delicious, and has none of the animal by-products! It’s also quite healthy, thanks to some added fibre and protein from creamy butter beans.

Have vegan spinach and artichoke dip as a meal on those lazy nights, or put it out as a comforting starter for your dinner guests!
