About Cashew queso

Cashew queso is a creamy, dairy-free alternative to traditional cheese dip, celebrated in plant-based and vegan cuisines for its rich flavor and versatility. Made primarily from blended cashews, this dip often includes nutritional yeast for a cheesy taste, along with spices like smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder for depth. Lemon juice or vinegar is typically added for a tangy note, mirroring the sharpness of cheese. Cashews are a great source of healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals, such as magnesium and zinc, making this dip a nutrient-dense option. However, it can be calorie-dense due to the nuts' high fat content, so moderation is key. Perfect for pairing with veggies, tortilla chips, or as a topping for tacos and burrito bowls, cashew queso offers a wholesome, satisfying alternative for those avoiding dairy or seeking plant-based dishes inspired by Tex-Mex cuisine.
