This Vegan Spinach Artichoke Dip is a twist on the original spinach artichoke dip made with dairy, which includes mayonnaise, cheese and sour cream. This dip is completely vegan and made with an oil vegan mayo. (unless you want to use store bought vegan mayo like the Follow Your Heart brand, it’s up too you, no judgement)
But what this does have is the same creamy texture and taste with a garlic flavor mixed in with freshness of the lemon juice. You can serve this warm or at room temperature. This is great to bring to holiday parties and family gatherings. (I also use this as a pizza topping for my Spinach Artichoke Pizza)
