This is such and easy and delicious comfort meal! It has all the creamy flavor of a spinach and artichoke dip, but none of the gross ingredients. Instead of bricks of cream cheese and globs of mayonnaise, it gets a creamy kick from coconut milk and cheesy flavor from nutritional yeast. It's an easy dinner than comes together in about 30 minutes- making it a perfect weeknight meal!
