- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

- 2 teaspoons shallot, minced
- 1/2 white onion, diced (sub yellow onion)
- 1 celery stalk, thinly sliced
- 8oz fresh spinach
- serving suggestion: scoop with pita chips or fresh vegetables.
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Sauté: Bring a large skillet to a medium-high heat and add the oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Add garlic and shallots; Move around the pan as they cook down and become fragrant. Add onion and celery; sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Allow to cook 3-5 minutes or until onions are translucent; set aside.
- Blend: Place softened cashews in a high-powered blender, along with the creamer. Blend until smooth, about 2-5 minutes; you will need to stop and scrape down the sides a couple times. Add lemon juice, mayo, salt and pepper. Blend on low to combine. Add onion mixture and artichokes, pulse a couple times to combine (only 2-3 times, you don’t want to break down the artichokes too much).
- Spinach: Place fresh spinach in a large cast iron skillet and bring to medium heat. Move around in the hot pan until wilted.
- Bake: Place artichoke mixture in a 8×8 or 9×9 baking pan. Add cooked spinach to this mixture and mix to combine. Place in preheated oven and bake for 5 minutes or until it is warm throughout.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately with pita chips or fresh veggies.
Notes
- Prep Ahead of Time: You can easily make this ahead of time and then just place it in the oven to warm before serving.
