Instructions

Soak cashews in very hot water for 15-20 minutes, then drain. This step is optional if you have a powerful blender (we find raw cashews blend well in high-speed blenders).
To a small blender, add all ingredients and blend on high for 1-2 minutes or until smooth and creamy.
Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more salt to taste, lemon juice for acidity, or herbs for more herbal flavor. Coconut aminos enhance umami flavor / saltiness. If too thick, add slightly more water. If too thin or strong, add more cashews.
Enjoy on salads, in bowls, or as a dip for raw or roasted veggies. Best when fresh. Store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge up to 3-4 days. Not freezer friendly.

Notes

*If nut-free, try subbing avocado in place of cashews. Just know there will be some discoloration if not enjoyed right away. And some slight avocado flavor.*Loosely adapted from Oh She Glows.*Nutrition information is a rough estimate calculated without optional ingredients.
