Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups raw cashews
- 0.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1.5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoons turmeric powder
- 0.25 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.25 cups water
Instructions
Soak the raw cashews in warm water for at least 10 minutes or overnight if preparing ahead. This will soften them for blending.
Drain and rinse the soaked cashews, then add them to a blender or food processor.
Add the almond milk, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, dijon mustard, turmeric powder, garlic powder, salt, olive oil, and water to the blender with the cashews.
Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Stop to scrape down the sides if needed. This may take 1-2 minutes depending on your blender.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice to taste.
Pour the mixture into a small saucepan and heat over low to medium heat, whisking constantly to prevent sticking. Heat until warmed through and slightly thickened (3-5 minutes).
Once the desired consistency is achieved, remove from heat and serve immediately over roasted vegetables, tofu, or your favorite vegan breakfast dishes.
