Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Start by soaking the raw cashews. Place the cashews in a bowl and cover them with water. Let them soak for at least 2 hours, or overnight if you have more time. This step helps soften the cashews, making them easier to blend into a creamy texture.
Step 2
After soaking, drain and rinse the cashews thoroughly to remove any residue.
Step 3
Add the soaked cashews to a high-speed blender or food processor along with 1 cup of fresh water, lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as necessary. This may take about 2-5 minutes depending on the strength of your blender.
Step 5
Taste the spread and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice to suit your preference.
Step 6
Once the spread is smooth, transfer it to a serving dish. Optionally, chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up for a thicker consistency.
Step 7
Serve the Keto Creamy Cashew Spread as a dip with fresh vegetables, a spread for keto bread, or use it as a base for keto-friendly wraps.
Step 8
Store any leftover spread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
