  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes with green chilies (optional)

Instructions

  1. Soak cashews in hot water for at least 10 minutes, then drain.
  2. Add soaked cashews, plant-based milk, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, olive oil, and spices to a blender.
  3. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  4. Pour the mixture into a saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until thickened.

Notes

  • Adjust thickness by adding more plant-based milk if needed.

  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheat gently.
  • Soaking cashews longer will yield a smoother texture.
