Spinach artichoke dip is a crowd and game-day favorite! You can eat it with fresh veggies, crackers, chips, crostini, or fresh bread. In this version, we use two types of vegan cheese: 365 Plant-Based Parmesan (Whole Foods Market) for delicious flavor, and Chao Creamy Original for extra creaminess. The pepperoncini are optional, and they add a nice tang to the dip. This recipe can easily be made a day ahead of time and then baked right before serving! Enjoy.
