Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by soaking the raw cashews in hot water. Place the cashews in a bowl and cover with hot water, allowing them to soak for at least 1 hour to soften.
Step 2
After the cashews have softened, drain and rinse them thoroughly.
Step 3
In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the soaked and drained cashews with 0.5 cup of fresh water, lemon juice, olive oil, and peeled garlic cloves.
Step 4
Add the nutritional yeast, sea salt, and black pepper to the blender.
Step 5
Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. You may need to stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure everything is well incorporated.
Step 6
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more salt or lemon juice to taste, blending again briefly to incorporate any additional ingredients.
Step 7
Transfer the creamy garlic dip to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, although it can be served immediately if desired.
Step 8
Serve as a dip with fresh vegetables or paleo-friendly crackers. Enjoy your flavorful Paleo Creamy Garlic Dip!
