Ingredients
1 cup/155g raw cashews soaked in 1.5 cups water for an hour |
1 tsp lemon zest, grated |
1 tbsp lemon juice |
1 tsp apple cider vinegar |
1 garlic clove (optional) |
1/2 tbsp Dijon mustard |
1 tsp unrefined salt |
½ tsp white pepper, ground |
Method
1. Drain your cashews, then place in a blender with the other ingredients and whiz until thick and creamy.
2. Adjust the seasoning to your liking. It will form up once it has been chilling for a couple of hours, making it more like a spreadable cheese. If you'd like to use it as a sauce in lasagna, on pasta, with your protein, then leave it out of the fridge for a while. It will last in the fridge for about a week.
