Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sundried tomatoes (packed in oil)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 cup Raw cashews (soaked for 2-4 hours)
- 0.25 cup Water
- 10 Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
Soak the raw cashews in water for 2-4 hours or overnight if planning ahead. Drain and set aside.
In a food processor, combine the sundried tomatoes (including the oil they are packed in), olive oil, and garlic cloves. Pulse until roughly blended.
Add the soaked and drained cashews to the food processor along with lemon juice, basil leaves, salt, and black pepper.
Start blending while slowly adding 1/4 cup of water. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure an even consistency.
Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more salt or lemon juice if desired.
Transfer the spread to a serving bowl or airtight container. Use immediately or refrigerate for up to one week.
