I LOVE this easy cheesy spicy sauce so much! It's very similar to my Easy Vegan Smoky Cheddar Cheese sauce, with some slight variation. It's got a bit of a kick, but it is oh, so yummy!
Ingredients:
3/4 cup cashews
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (I use Bragg’s brand and purchase it at Whole Foods)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
3-4 slices of pickled jalapenos (I used Hatch Organic Nacho Sliced Jalapenos). Add more or less, depending on your level of spicy tolerance.
Directions:
Place all ingredients in a high speed blender and blend until smooth. Enjoy!
Tips and Tricks:
This recipe makes about 8 oz.
If you don't have a high speed blender (like a Vitamix or a Magic Bullet, my favorites!), then soak the cashews in the almond milk for about 30 minutes before mixing in a regular blender.
You could also make this in a food processor, but may need to blend a little longer to make it smooth.
Serve on tacos, as a dipping sauce for fries or chips! YUM!
