Equipment
- High-speed blender
Ingredients
- 1 cup cashews ($1.72)
- 1 whole pickled jalapeño ($0.27)
- ½ cup nutritional yeast ($1.96)
- ½ cup water ($0.00)
- 1 tbsp lime juice ($0.12)
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes ($0.01)
- 1 tsp garlic powder ($0.02)
- 1 tsp onion powder ($0.08)
- ¼ tsp chili powder ($0.01)
- Sea salt & pepper to taste ($0.02)
Instructions
- Soak cashews overnight, or for at least 1-2 hours in boiling water before making this recipe (soaking cashews causes them to soften up, so you'll be less likely to end up with a grainy texture).
- Next, add all of the ingredients to your blender and mix on high until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add jalapeños and red pepper flakes for heat, lime for more tang, or more liquid if you want it to be runnier.
- Serve with tortilla chips, as a topping for stuffed potatoes, or as a buddha bowl sauce. Store leftovers in a mason jar or container in the fridge for 7-10 days.
