Every time I have artichokes that need to be eaten, I think of spinach and artichoke dip. It’s a classic at almost any get together, and it’s cheesy, gooey, goodness is a hit with everyone. I had a craving for my favorite vegan version last month and just knew I had to somehow make a meal that was just as heavenly. The lemon cashew cream makes this risotto extra rich, super creamy, and just bright enough for an easy, yet decadent mid-week lunch.
