Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups raw cashews
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 scallion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons chives, chopped
Instructions
Begin by soaking the raw cashews in hot water for 30 minutes. Drain and rinse them thoroughly.
In a food processor, combine the soaked cashews, almond milk, nutritional yeast, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, and olive oil. Process until smooth and creamy.
Add paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, caraway seeds, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Blend again until all ingredients are well combined, forming a smooth spread.
Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and fold in the thinly sliced scallion and chopped chives until evenly distributed.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. You may add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice according to your preference.
Allow the spread to chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. This will improve the flavor and allow the consistency to firm up.
Serve your Dairy-Free Obazda with gluten-free pretzels, fresh vegetables, or as a spread on breads or crackers.
