Types of artichokes
I use the artichoke antipasto from Trader Joe’s because it’s easy for me to find and it is already chopped and ready to make into a dip.
What if I don’t have artichoke antipasto?
You can use any artichokes that come marinated in a jar, then simply drain and chop them yourself into very small pieces. You can use a knife to cut them up or toss them into a food processor and hit pulse a few times to chop them into tiny pieces.
Note: Sometimes the artichokes have some harder chewier pieces in them. Try to remove these before chopping.
How to make easy vegan artichoke dip or spread?
- Simply mix vegan mayo with some Artichoke Antipasto together and you have a delicious dip or sandwich spread.
Heating
- If you want a hot cheesy dip, sprinkle it with some vegan cheese and pop it in the microwave for 2 minutes. Easy, cheesy vegan artichoke dip in minutes!
- You can also bake the artichoke dip in an oven-safe container at 350° F for 20 minutes until bubbly.
- Top with fresh chopped parsley if desired.

I have to know what kind of cheese you use! Its so melty :O
I use my homemade vegan mozzarella on this, but if I don't have time to make my own, the vegan cheese from Trader Joe's melts really well too. Here is a link to my melty mozzarella. 🙂 https://thehiddenveggies.com/vegan-mozzarella-recipe/
I love how quick this recipe is! I always want vegan artichoke dip but never have the time/energy to deal with soaking cashews etc. So yummy!!
Thanks Amamada! That's what I love about it too. I like to cut the recipe by 1/4 and make a single serving for myself when I want a snack! So happy that you like it! 🙂
I can’t believe how good this is! Sooo easy to make. I just pick up a few extra ingredients at Trader Joe’s so I’m always ready to make a quick appetizer.
I love it too Rachel! I like that you can just make a small bowl of it for an individual snack too!
