In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the cashews, nutritional yeast, sea salt and garlic powder until finely ground. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep for several weeks.

MAKE THE CASHEW PARMESAN:

Preheat the oven to 400F. In a large pan over medium heat, add the olive oil, onion, 1 teaspoon salt and cayenne pepper. Saute for 10 minutes then reduce the heat to low.  Continue to cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onions and browned and caramelized. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more, then set aside to cool.

Meanwhile, in the bowl of a hand or stand mixer, place the dairy-free cream cheese, mayonnaise, ½ cup cashew parmesan cheese and 1 teaspoon salt. Mix until smooth.

Squeeze as much liquid out of the spinach as possible then add to the cream cheese mixture along with the artichoke hearts. Mix to evenly combine. Stir in the onions.

Transfer the mixture to a 11x8 inch oval (or 9x13 rectangle) baking dish. Sprinkle with ½ cup of the cashew parmesan. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until lightly browned and bubbling. Serve warm with tortilla chips, bread or vegetables. Enjoy!

Just made this and looooved it!  Used three cloves garlic, added fresh and dried dill and had to use almond milk yogurt as that was the only plain non-dairy yogurt I could find at three grocery stores.  I printed this out to go in my family recipe book!  There were so many generic recipes out there, glad I found yours!

This quick and easy appetizer is perfect for any occasion. A creamy, fluffy dip made with whipped salty feta, paired with a honey blend of chili flakes and garlic. Serve alongside crispy pita bread, crackers or a veggie platter for a delightful starter.

This was absolutely to die for! I keep thinking about the flavors and how I might use this in other recipes. It’s that good!

This was a winning recipe! It was absolutely delicious. Rave reviews as well from guests. The only thing I struggled with is the honey mixture was quite runny and so made the dip a bit soupy. Is there a fix for this? I followed the recipe exactly so I’m not sure what I did wrong.

Very Easy, 10 out of 10,it's going to my next pot luck or dinner party.

Have made this dip before but this time after putting into serving dish, and spooning honey mixture, dip turned into a watery mess that would not even grab onto pita chips.  It was like I poured water into the dish.  Have no idea what could have cause this.  Has this happened to anyone else?  Please email me if it has or if you have any suggestions - love this dip!!

I made this and the taste was amazing. But the dip was very “liquidy.”  Then it did not look appealing. I wonder why?  Was it the consistency of the honey or any other ideas?  I do want to make it again with the correction. Thanks
