Vegan Kale + Artichoke Dip

SOOOO excited about this vegan kale and artichoke dip! It’s super easy to make and packs a major flavor punch. I wanted to create a simple-to-throw-together vegan version of one of my favorite dips to serve at parties and small gatherings. The recipe calls for a vegan cheese (of your choosing), but I highly recommend using Miyoko’s Fresh Mozz if it’s available to you. I always use this cheese for homemade pizzas, but this is the first time I used it baked into a dip. I love the overall consistency, the clean ingredient list and the way it tastes and melts. The cheese and the addition of the oat milk yogurt give this artichoke dip a nice tangy profile, while the lemon juice brightens and the red chili flakes add just the right amount of spice. The perfect vegan dip to serve as an appetizer before dinner or at a gathering of friends and family. I hope you enjoy it!
