Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw cashews
- 1 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 4 slices Bread (gluten-free if preferred)
- 1 medium Tomato
- 0.5 medium Cucumber

Instructions
Soak the raw cashews in 1 cup of water for at least 2 hours, or overnight if possible. Drain and rinse before using.
In a blender, add the soaked cashews, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and olive oil.
Blend on high speed for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is very smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. If the mixture is too thick, add water a tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice as preferred.
Slice the tomato and cucumber into thin, even slices.
Spread a generous amount of the creamy Romano cheese mixture on one side of each slice of bread.
Layer lettuce leaves, tomato slices, and cucumber slices on two slices of bread.
Top each with a second slice of bread, cheese side down, to form a sandwich.
Slice each sandwich in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your tasty, dairy-free creamy Romano cheese sandwich!
