Creamy Vegan Spinach Dip

This vegan spinach dip is creamy, flavorful, and perfect for any occasion. It's made with a combination of spinach, cashews, dairy-free sour cream, onion, garlic, nutritional yeast, and lemon juice. The result is a dip that is both satisfying and healthy.

Spinach dip has been a staple of American party food since the 1950s, when it was first popularized by Betty Crocker. The original recipe was made with cream cheese, mayonnaise, and frozen spinach, and it has since been adapted in countless ways. This vegan version of spinach dip is every bit as delicious as the original, but it is made with all plant-based ingredients.
