Ingredients

• 1 cup raw almonds
• 0.5 cup water
• 0.25 cup lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons aminos (coconut or liquid)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.125 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, to taste)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by soaking the raw almonds in water for at least 4 hours or overnight to soften them. Drain the soaked almonds and rinse them under cool water.

Step 2

Combine the soaked almonds, water, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and coconut aminos in a high-speed blender or food processor.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic, onion powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, sea salt, and cayenne pepper (if using) to the blender.

Step 4

Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary. This should take about 2-3 minutes depending on your blender.

Step 5

Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings or thickness to your liking. If it is too thick, add a bit more water, a tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 6

Transfer the sauce to a clean jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Serve chilled as a dip, spread, or drizzle. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to one week.
