For the final recipe on Day 7 of “Hip Hip for Hummus Week”, we visit a classic cheesy dip translated into a healthier (and vegan) alternative — spinach and artichoke hummus!
I thought it would be a fun experiment, but was surprised by how much I loved this recipe! The classic spin-artichoke combination, paired with the rich tahini and lemon juice proved to be even more flavorful (in my opinion!) than the classic dip I’ve made for years! And…you get to trade in a bunch of extra fiber for all of that cheese. :)
I’m sure I’ll still continue to make both, but this is a wonderful alternative for whenever you get the spinach artichoke craving! And, with no baking required, it can be whipped up in less than 5 minutes. Perfect!

Ali’s Tip:
To give this an extra kick, I also tried adding in a seeded fresh jalapeno, and it was fantastic! You could even add in half of a pepper if you’d like.
Also, to make this taste a little more like classic spinach-artichoke dip, just mix in 1/4 (or 1/2 cup) grated parmesan cheese.
I tried them all and they were absolutely delicious. Thank you for the recipes.
Spinach + Artichoke + Hummus – YES, PLEASE :) The picture does it justice and by far my favorite dip….Delicious!
Thank you, Lior, we’re so glad you enjoy it! :)
Just checking… you are using canned artichoke hearts in water, not marinated? Fresh?
Hi Deb! We use the jarred ones. We hope you enjoy this!
i made this last week – YUM! It turned out so much better than I thought. I’m going to be controversial and say I prefer it to real hummus. Quick n easy, thank you for sharing.

I just whipped this up. Yum. Such a nice vibrant color. I like extra lemon squeezed on top of this. I didn’t miss the cheese. Thank you for the recipe!
