Vegan Artichoke Bean Dip

Erica Hranicka's Note:

This is an appetizer that gets eaten in about 15 minutes at a potluck, and is really easy. I could eat it with a spoon, but usually use some good bread or crackers to dip with. I usually double this for a larger group of folks because everyone always cries for more.

I have been looking for a recipe like this forever. I like this cold spread on a wrap filled with vegan mozzarella. I only used a tiny bit of nutritional yeast....
