Ingredients

• 1 cup Raw cashews
• 1 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons Apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon Onion powder (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Place 1 cup of raw cashews in a bowl or container and cover with boiling water. Let them soak for 10 to 15 minutes to soften.

Step 2

Drain the soaked cashews and add them to a high-speed blender or food processor.

Step 3

Pour 1 cup of water into the blender along with the soaked cashews.

Step 4

Add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. If using garlic powder and onion powder for additional flavor, add 0.25 teaspoon of each at this time.

Step 5

Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed to ensure a uniform texture.

Step 6

Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more lemon juice or salt for tanginess and flavor.

Step 7

Transfer the soy-free vegan sour cream to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow it to thicken and the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Serve as a dip, spread, or topping, and enjoy! Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
