Vegan Spinach Artichoke Dip in Wonton Cups

A warm creamy Spinach Artichoke Dip is often the star of a well planned holiday appetizer table.  I love this vegan version.  It is full of fantastic flavors and has a beautiful creamy texture.   My guests are often surprised when they discover that this delicious dip is vegan. Today, we are taking this recipe to the next level by making Vegan Spinach Artichoke Dip in Wonton Cups. You may be surprised at how much texture and style these wonton cups bring to the table:)

If you are like me, I enjoy serving appetizers for holiday meals.  There is something about preparing an appetizer that communicates that you went to extra effort and trouble for your guests.  It seems to say: “Ta-Da” before the main meal has even started.   I also love to watch it disappears before my very eyes.  

You can often find me lingering around the appetizer table after the guests have moved on, hoping there might be a little left-over for me.  But I enjoy seeing the empty platters and bowls signaling a successful start to the meal.

We started making this dip many years ago, and it is now a part of our Holiday tradition.  The crunchy wonton cups add another fun element to the dish.  They are also easy to serve and look very inviting.

You can make this dish gluten-free by eliminating the wonton wrappers.  Just serve the dip in a pretty bowl with gluten-free crackers.  It can also be made oil-free by using water instead of oil when sauteing the onions.  

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family and I do.  The warm, creamy, flavorful Vegan Spinach Artichoke dip served inside the crispy wonton cup, is an absolute winner.  It is a relatively easy appetizer to make.  You can prepare and bake the wonton cups in advance and then fill them right before you serve them.  Top with some fresh parsley, and they look inviting and beautiful.

I want to wish you all the very best Thanksgiving Holiday.  I am so thankful for each one of you!  Thank you for your support and encouragement.
