Picnik Creamer Spinach Artichoke Dip

Serves 10-12

Ingredients:

• 2 10 oz. bags frozen organic whole leaf spinach; thawed, drained, and squeezed
• 1 10 oz. bag frozen organic collard greens; thawed, drained, and squeezed
• 1 14 oz. can organic, quartered baby artichokes; drained and rough chopped
• 1 4.9 oz. can organic water chestnuts; rough chopped
• 1 cup yellow onions; medium diced
• 2 tbsp. garlic; chopped
• 2 tbsp raw apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup tapioca starch
• 1 tsp. nutmeg; grated
• 2 cups raw parmesan cheese + ½ cup set aside
• 2 ½ cups Picnik Creamer
• 3 tbsp. avocado oil + 2 tbsp. set aside
• salt + black pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 F degrees.
2. Next, using a pastry brush, take the 2 tbsp. of avocado oil and grease the bottom of a 9 x 9 casserole baking dish. Set aside.
3. Working in a heavy bottom sauce pot, add the 3 tbsp. of avocado oil and place over medium high heat.
4. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the 1 cup of medium diced onions. Season with salt only.
5. Allow the onions to sauté, stirring often, until they become translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
6. Add the chopped garlic and stir to incorporate. Allow the garlic to soften for a minute.
7. Next, sprinkle the tapioca starch over the onion and garlic mixture and stir to combine. The mixture will start to thicken.
8. Now, add the Picnik Creamer and stir to combine.
9. Continue to stir the mixture until it comes to a full boil and becomes very thick.
10. Once the mixture has thickened, remove from heat, and add the nutmeg, raw parmesan, water chestnuts, and artichokes hearts and stir to combine.
11. Now, add the spinach and collard greens and stir to combine. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper.
12. Scoop the mixture into the prepared casserole or baking dish.
13. Sprinkle the remaining raw parmesan over the top of the mixture.
14. Place the casserole in the 350F degree oven until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
15. Serve with almond flour tortilla chips or your favorite toasted gluten-free bread.
