Equipment

  • blender
  • large soup pot for boiling

Ingredients

  • 2 cups raw cashews
  • cup lemon juice fresh
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup non-dairy milk plain or unsweetened

Instructions

  • Soak cashews overnight or use the quick boil method: boil cashews in a big pot of water with a pinch of salt for 20-30 minutes until tender. Drain.
  • Add all the ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth - yet still slightly texture - like a ricotta cheese. If you need to add more liquid to blend, go with either water or the non-dairy milk.
  • Store in the fridge, covered, until ready to use.
