Ingredients
- 1 cup Sundried tomatoes (packed in oil)
- 0.5 cup Raw cashews
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Soak the raw cashews in hot water for 10 minutes, then drain and set aside. This will soften them and help achieve a creamy texture.
Step 2
In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the soaked cashews, sundried tomatoes, water, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, nutritional yeast, and salt.
Step 3
Blend until smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed. Add more water, one tablespoon at a time, if the mixture is too thick.
Step 4
Taste the spread and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt or lemon juice to suit your preference.
Step 5
If desired, add fresh basil leaves to the food processor and blend briefly to incorporate a fresh herbal flavor.
Step 6
Transfer the spread to a serving bowl or an airtight container. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to let the flavors meld, or serve immediately.
Step 7
Enjoy the spread as a dip with veggie sticks, as a topping for crackers, or as a flavorful addition to sandwiches and wraps.
