Ingredients

• 0.5 cups raw almonds
• 1 cup water
• 0.25 cup nutritional yeast
• 0.25 cup lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons amino acids or low sodium soy sauce
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup water (additional for consistency)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by soaking the raw almonds in hot water for at least 10-15 minutes to soften them. This will make them easier to blend and give the sauce a smoother texture.

Step 2

Once soaked, drain the almonds and add them to a high-speed blender or food processor.

Step 3

Add the water, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, amino acids or low sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt to the blender.

Step 4

Blend the mixture on high speed until completely smooth and creamy. This may take a few minutes, so be patient for the best consistency.

Step 5

Check the sauce's consistency. If it's too thick, add the additional water a tablespoon at a time and blend until you reach the desired thickness.

Step 6

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or cayenne pepper for extra heat.

Step 7

Transfer the sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least an hour to let the flavors meld together. The sauce can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.

Step 8

Serve chilled as a dip with fresh vegetables, or use as a spread in wraps, sandwiches, or bowls.
