Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw cashews
- 0.25 cup Coconut cream (from a can of full-fat coconut milk)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.75 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the raw cashews into a bowl and cover them with hot water. Let them soak for 15-20 minutes, then drain and rinse thoroughly.
In a high-speed blender or food processor, add the soaked cashews, coconut cream, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and water.
Blend the mixture on high speed until it is completely smooth and creamy. This may take 2-3 minutes, depending on your blender; scrape down the sides as needed to ensure everything is fully incorporated.
Taste the whipped feta alternative and adjust the seasonings as desired. You can add a little more lemon juice for extra tang, or a pinch more salt if necessary.
Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to allow it to thicken slightly.
Serve with fresh-cut veggies, use as a spread, or dollop onto roasted vegetables. Optionally, garnish with fresh dill for a hint of herby brightness.
