Ingredients

1 cup raw cashews
1 cup water
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Place cashews in a bowl and cover with water. Soak for at least 4 hours or overnight. Drain and rinse.
Add soaked cashews, 1 cup fresh water, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to a high-speed blender.
Blend on high until completely smooth, about 1-2 minutes, scraping down sides as needed.
Taste and adjust seasoning if desired. For thinner sauce, add more water 1 tablespoon at a time.
Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Tips

For a quick soak, cover cashews with boiling water and let sit for 30 minutes.
This sauce thickens as it chills; thin with water or plant milk when reheating.
Great as a base for creamy pasta sauces, dressings, or dips.
