Ingredients

• 1 large English cucumber
• 2 medium Carrots
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Liquid smoke
• 1 teaspoon Maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 cup Cashews
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Chives
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Soak the cashews in hot water for at least 30 minutes to soften them.

Step 2

Meanwhile, peel the carrots into long, thin strips using a vegetable peeler.

Step 3

In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, liquid smoke, maple syrup, and lemon juice to create the marinade.

Step 4

Add the carrot strips to the marinade and let them sit for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 5

Drain and rinse the soaked cashews, then add them to a food processor along with nutritional yeast, garlic powder, chives, salt, and water. Blend until smooth and creamy to make the cashew cream cheese.

Step 6

Cut the ends off the cucumber and slice it lengthwise into thin strips using a mandoline or vegetable peeler.

Step 7

Spread a thin layer of the cashew cream cheese onto each cucumber strip.

Step 8

Place a couple of marinated carrot strips on top of the cashew cream spread at one end.

Step 9

Gently roll up the cucumber strips around the filling.

Step 10

Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
