Cashew Queso
Delicious, Versatile and Vitamin-Packed Cashew Queso
Dreamy, dairy-free cashew queso that’s secretly good for you! This creamy, versatile sauce, naturally colored and vitamin-packed with orange bell pepper, is the perfect plant-based hero. Love it mild on pasta or spicy as a dip; one blend creates endless possibilities.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cups raw cashews Soaked overnight or for 15 minutes in hot water
- 1 cup Water
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup Nutritional yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 Orange bell pepper or carrot
Instructions
- Soak Cashews
- Add all ingredients to a high speed blender and blend until creamy 2-3 minutes
- Adjust water and seasoning as needed
Notes
The bell pepper or carrot add a yellow color but also FIBER and VITAMINS and you can’t taste it, trust me.
You can add seasoning – leave as is for Mac n cheese or add cayenne to spice it up or Chile powder to make a chili Mac. You can’t beat the vitamix for this. If you don’t have one ask Santa! For the CREAMY RED LENTIL PASTA there is no recipe: Mix a box of red lentil pasta cooked according to package directions, add this yummy cashew queso, roasted chick peas and top with whatever veggies you have in your fridge!
