Ingredients
- 200 grams smoked salmon
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried dill

- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces sliced bread
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
1. Begin by soaking the cashews in hot water for at least 15 minutes to soften. Drain and rinse them under cold water.

4. Spread a generous amount of the cashew herb cream 'cheese' mixture onto each slice of toasted bread.
5. Top each slice with equal portions of smoked salmon.
6. Sprinkle capers over the smoked salmon, and garnish with a sprig of fresh dill.
