Step #1: Place the cashews and water in a medium bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Step #2: Drain the cashews and put them in a food processor or high-powered blender with enough fresh water to barely cover them. Blend until smooth and set aside.
Step #3: Wrap the spinach in paper towels and squeeze out all the excess liquid. Set aside in a colander to drain further.
Step #4: Finely chop the artichoke hearts. Set aside.
Step #5: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm the coconut oil. Add the onions and sauté for 10 minutes, or until soft. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
Step #6: Add the artichokes, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper and stir to combine. Cook until heated through.
Step #7: Add the spinach and lemon juice. Stir to combine and cook until heated through.
Step #8: Stir in the cashew cream and the cheese, if using. Cook until heated through, well blended, and softened. Remove from the heat.
Step #9: Serve warm.
Tip: I like to throw the cooked mixture into the blender and pulse it for a minute or two; it makes the dip creamier and better blended.
