- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover them with boiling water. Let them soak for 15 minutes to soften.
Drain the cashews and add them to a high-speed blender.
Add 1 cup of water, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the blender.
Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as necessary. This could take about 1-2 minutes, depending on the power of your blender.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as desired. You may add more salt, lemon juice, or mustard to suit your taste preferences.
Pour the sauce into a serving dish and use immediately, or transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
