makes about 5-6 cups
16 oz. organic frozen spinach, thawed

Topping: Sprinkle of Vegan White Cheese (Daiya)
Directions:
1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
2. Thaw spinach
3. Soak cashews in hot salted water – for about 20 minutes. This will soften them a bit to ease the blending process.

5. Pour spinach dip into a heat-safe serving dish. Top with a sprinkle of vegan cheese
6. Place in a 350-degree oven for 15 minutes. Then turn the oven on broil for 3-4 minutes to broil the top cheese layer.
