Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover them with warm water. Soak them for at least 2 hours, or overnight if possible, to achieve a creamy texture.
Drain and rinse the soaked cashews thoroughly under cold water.
Add the soaked cashews, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, garlic clove, turmeric, sea salt, and filtered water to a high-speed blender or food processor.
Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Pause to scrape down the sides as needed to ensure a consistent texture.
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add more lemon juice for tanginess or a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
Transfer the 'cheezy' mixture to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with chopped fresh chives for garnish if desired.
Serve immediately as a dip with vegetable sticks, a spread for raw wraps, or a topper for salads. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
