This Whole30 Spinach Artichoke Dip uses a mix of spinach and shredded kale in a creamy paleo sauce with lots of chunks of artichokes. A prefect appetizer! This dip is Whole30, Paleo, Grain Free, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, and Specific Carbohydrate Diet Legal.
Back in the good old days when I would eat anything and everything, it was physically impossible for me to see Spinach & Artichoke Dip on a restaurant menu and not order it. I was even known to arrive at the Vancouver airport an extra 30 minutes before my flight, just so that I would have enough time to eat at Milestones which serves an AMAZING dip.
The point of this little ramble is to prove that when it comes to Spinach and Artichoke Dip, I’m a self proclaimed connoisseur.
I have avoided trying to make a dairy free version of the dip because I didn’t think it was possible to make a Spinach and Artichoke Dip taste good without cheese or cream.
Last week my craving was just too strong to ignore, so I set to work on mission impossible trying to create a dairy free creamy dip. It turns out that not only is this dip easier to make then I ever expected, but it also tastes absolutely delicious.
I love hiding kale in dishes for an added boost of nutrients. I used a mix of spinach and kale but feel free to use just one or the other or a combination of both.
This is definitely a dip that I am going to add to my repertoire for feeding a crowd. Unlike other spinach and artichoke dips, I find that this one is really good cold as well, so you don’t need to worry about reheating it if you leave out for a while for guests.

Are the artichoke hearts soaked in water or oil?
I use artichokes soaked in water
I was so impressed with this dish! I made it for a game day appetizer and even my husband who is not doing a whole30, approved!!! Paired with some beet chips and crudités it was delicious!! Thank you! Now I can’t wait to try more of your recipes:)
I love hearing when even non Whole30 eaters enjoy a dish! Thanks for the comment Trina!
Can you substitute the kale? Does the yeast add any taste?
Yes you could just add in more spinach in place of the kale. The nutritional yeast is used to give the dip a slightly cheesy flavour.
