Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw cashews
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
Start by soaking the raw cashews in hot water for about 10 minutes to soften. If you have a high-speed blender, you can skip this step.
Step 2
Drain the soaked cashews and add them to a blender.
Step 3
Add the nutritional yeast, garlic powder, salt, and water to the blender along with the cashews.
Step 4
Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender if needed to ensure everything is fully incorporated.
Step 5
Taste the sauce and adjust salt or other seasonings as desired.
Step 6
Use immediately as a warm sauce or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of water to thin if necessary.
