Vegan Queso
Ingredients
1 cup raw cashews
1/2 - 3/4 cup water
1 clove garlic or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 - 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1 4oz can green chile peppers
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 salt, or to taste
Instructions
Soak the cashews. I like to soak my cashews covered in hot water for 5 minutes. This helps them soften up nicely and blend into pure creamy perfect. To help with digestion, it’s recommended to soak them for up to 2 hours in cool water. Soaking can be optional.
Blend the ingredients. Add the cashews, 1/2 cup water, garlic, nutritional yeast, cumin, chili powder, and salt to the blender cup. Blend until creamy, about 1 – 2 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. Add more water as needed. Taste for flavor.
Warm it up (optional). For a warm vegan queso, pour queso dip into saucepan to heat.
Serve: Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite tortilla chips or veggie sticks. For color and texture top with sliced or diced, jalapeno, red bell pepper, tomatoes, green onions and/or cilantro.
Makes about 1 1/4 cups
Serves 4 – 6
