Ingredients

• 0.5 cups raw cashews
• 0.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 1.5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
• 0.25 teaspoons turmeric powder
• 0.25 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.25 cups water

Directions

Step 1

Soak the raw cashews in warm water for at least 10 minutes or overnight if preparing ahead. This will soften them for blending.

Step 2

Drain and rinse the soaked cashews, then add them to a blender or food processor.

Step 3

Add the almond milk, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, dijon mustard, turmeric powder, garlic powder, salt, olive oil, and water to the blender with the cashews.

Step 4

Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Stop to scrape down the sides if needed. This may take 1-2 minutes depending on your blender.

Step 5

Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice to taste.

Step 6

Pour the mixture into a small saucepan and heat over low to medium heat, whisking constantly to prevent sticking. Heat until warmed through and slightly thickened (3-5 minutes).

Step 7

Once the desired consistency is achieved, remove from heat and serve immediately over roasted vegetables, tofu, or your favorite vegan breakfast dishes.
