Ingredients
- 1 cup raw unsalted pistachios

- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by boiling 1 cup of water in a medium saucepan.
Add 1 cup of raw unsalted pistachios to the boiling water and blanch them for 2-3 minutes.
Drain the pistachios and rinse them under cold water to cool. Remove the skins by gently rubbing them with your fingers.

Blend the mixture on high until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
Taste the spread and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the pistachio spread to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Serve chilled on toast, as a sandwich spread, or as a dip with crackers or vegetables.
