Ingredients

• 4 cups fresh spinach
• 1 cup raw cashews
• 0.75 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 0.25 cup nutritional yeast
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by soaking the raw cashews in hot water for 15 minutes to soften them. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Wash the spinach thoroughly. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, add the spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until wilted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

In a blender or food processor, combine the soaked cashews, almond milk, nutritional yeast, garlic cloves, lemon juice, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Add the sautéed spinach to the blender and pulse a few times until the spinach is evenly distributed but still retains some texture.

Step 6

Taste the dip and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or lemon juice as needed.

Step 7

Transfer the spinach dip to a serving dish and serve immediately with fresh vegetable sticks, crackers, or pita bread. Alternatively, refrigerate for an hour to serve chilled.
