Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cup raw, unsalted cashews
  • 1/2 cup water
  • Juice of 1 large lemon or 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (not baking yeast)
  • 1 small garlic clove
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sea salt
  • Cracked pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Directions:
    Soak the cashews for at least two hours in a bowl of water. Drain and place all remaining ingredients into a blender or food processor, scraping down sides as needed until a creamy consistency. Test for flavor, adding any additional ingredients to taste.
  • Store in refrigerator in an airtight container for an hour or two, this will stiffen the mixture a bit.  Keeps in the refrigerator for up to a week. (Note: When using as ricotta in lasagna, do not mix with eggs. Use as is).
