Ingredients:

3/4 cup raw cashews

1/2 onion, diced

3/4 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk

2 tbsp nutritional yeast

1/2 small lemon, juiced (about 1.5 tablespoons)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon Old Bay

2 cups loosely packed fresh spinach

(1) 14-ounce can artichokes drained & rinsed

Optional: Buttered and warmed pita bread (I used Earth Balance Butter and warmed it on a skillet. Also, optional: vegan parmesan for serving.

Please note: I used a food processor, but you can use a high speed blender or a Vitamix blender (will come out the smoothest in a Vitamix).
