- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions
Step 1
Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover them with water. Let them soak for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results. Drain and rinse the soaked cashews.
Step 2
In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked cashews, fresh water, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, Dijon mustard, turmeric, paprika, salt, and cayenne pepper.

Step 4
Transfer the blended mixture to a small saucepan over low heat.
Step 5
Gently heat the sauce, stirring frequently to prevent burning, until it is warmed through and thickens slightly. This should take approximately 3-5 minutes.
