This Paleo Spinach Artichoke Dip is rich and filling, perfect for curbing midday hunger. Nutritional yeast adds cheesy flavor without the lactose of regular cheese. Gluten-free, too!
When you're following a paleo diet, you don't have to forgo snacks. But unfortunately, so many of the easiest snacks to grab have carbohydrates in them. Or dairy. Or both, or maybe they're served with both. Often, a dip like this one is served with crackers; you know you've seen the classic kind of spinach artichoke dip, dolloped into a hollowed-out bread bowl. This dip definitely isn't it!
The dip comes together by cooking the onions with some seasonings, along with the spinach and drained chopped artichokes. Never used artichokes before? Well, they're a little nutty and taste and this recipe uses the jarred artichoke hearts that are already chopped. Just drain them well and you're good to go.
If you want to make this dip without dairy, use dairy-free butter (such as a plant-based high-quality shortening) and dairy-free mayonnaise. Easy peasy!
The recipe calls for sliced carrots and celery, but feel free to mix it up. Use broccoli and/or cauliflower florets, or sliced bell peppers in an array of colors. Sliced mushrooms would work, too.
Don't have spinach or just want to use a different type of leafy green? Try using a mix of greens such as Swiss chard and/or chopped kale. If you have beet greens, those would be nice and earthly like spinach, too. (Avoid arugula; it's far too delicate a green and bitter in taste to really work well with this paleo spinach artichoke dip.)
This dip will keep in the refrigerator in a sealed container (prep containers or otherwise!) for 3 to 4 days. It won't freeze well, so share it. (It's also a great dip for a party, especially if your guests are paleo and/or gluten-free, and/or dairy free.
