- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt

Directions
Step 1
Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover them with hot water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for better texture.

Step 3
Add lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, sea salt, and water to the blender with the cashews.
Step 4
Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. If the mixture is too thick, add a teaspoon of water at a time until desired consistency is reached.
Step 5
Chop the chives finely and fold them into the creamy cashew mixture.
Step 6
Spread approximately 2 tablespoons of the dairy-free cream cheese on each rice cake.
