- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Onion powder (optional)
Instructions
Place 1 cup of raw cashews in a bowl or container and cover with boiling water. Let them soak for 10 to 15 minutes to soften.
Drain the soaked cashews and add them to a high-speed blender or food processor.
Pour 1 cup of water into the blender along with the soaked cashews.
Add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. If using garlic powder and onion powder for additional flavor, add 0.25 teaspoon of each at this time.
Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed to ensure a uniform texture.
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more lemon juice or salt for tanginess and flavor.
Transfer the soy-free vegan sour cream to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow it to thicken and the flavors to meld.
Serve as a dip, spread, or topping, and enjoy! Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
