Instructions

For Onion Cream

  1. Place prepared onion and garlic into a small, oven-proof dish. Add one inch of water, and bake at 375F for 45 minutes or until garlic bulb is browned and soft, and the onions are roasted.
  2. Add roasted onions and garlic, salt, sunflower seeds, and non-dairy milk into a high-speed blender or food processor, and blend until creamy. Set aside.

To Make Ranch

  1. In a high speed blender or food processor, add all ingredients except for the vegetable oil, and blend for 20-30 seconds until combined.
  2. With your blender/food processor running at it's lowest speed, slowly stream in the vegetable oil. After all the oil has been added, increase to the highest speed for 10 additional seconds. DO NOT OVERBLEND; the ranch will collapse and be unusable in this recipe. Set aside.

Artichoke Dip

  1. Preheat oven to 400F, and lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
  2. In the dish, combine artichokes, garlic, spinach, Onion Cream and Ranch, and spread evenly in the pan. Bake for 20-30 minutes until browned on top.
