Creamy Cashew Cheese Dip

This cashew cheese dip is creamy, smooth, has no animal products and actually tastes like cheese.

Many people do not realize that traditional cheese is loaded with fat, sodium and cholesterol. Cheese is the leading source of saturated fat in the American diet! ¹

This recipe is a great alternative to traditional dairy cheese and is very easy to make.

For this recipe you will need: 

1 cup cashew nuts

1 red bell pepper, deseeded and chopped

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

2-3 tablespoons nutritional yeast

1/2 clove garlic

a pinch of sea salt

1 teaspoon chili powder

a splash of water (no more than 1/4 cup unless you want your cheese to be more runny)

Optional Ingredients: 

1/2 cup pine nuts

Put all ingredients in either a food processor or high speed blender and blend until creamy. Pour your cheese in a small bowl.

I love eating this cheese with some cut up veggies or chia seed crackers. Yummy!
