Ingredients

  • 1 cup cashews soaked in filtered water overnight or for at least 30-60 minutes
  • 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 large clove garlic minced (use 2-3 smaller cloves if you don’t have a big one - I happened to have some monster cloves when I made this ha!)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 - 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Pinch of paprika
  • 1/2 cup - 3/4 cup filtered water

Instructions

  • In your blender, add the cashews (make sure to toss out the water they were soaking in), nutritional yeast, olive oil, lemon juice and all spices except for the rosemary. Add about 1/4 cup of water to start.
  • Start to blend until smooth, adding more water as needed. You don’t have to use all of the water but I used most all of it to thin the sauce out.
  • Once blended until your liking, add the rosemary and blend again for 5-10 more seconds.
  • Taste and add more spices if you desire.
  • Store in a glass container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
