Cashew Queso. I love you.

This MAGICAL cheese sauce is:
💥made from cashews
💥vegan & dairy-free
💥just 4 ingredients
💥a source of plant-protein
💥made quickly in a blender
💥life-changing (I’m not being dramatic)

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup raw cashews (not toasted or salted)
2 cups hot water
1/4 cup nutritional yeast*
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
your favorite salsa or hot sauce
*nutritional yeast is like vegan parmesan cheese. It can be purchased at health food stores or online.

DIRECTIONS:
1. Cover cashews with 1 cup hot water and let soak for 15 minutes, then drain/discard water.

2. To blender, add drained cashews, nutritional yeast, and salt. Blend in 1 fresh cup hot water, a little at a time, until you get the texture you want.

3. Blend until it’s a creamy sauce. Add additional hot water if it’s too thick.
