I LOVE this easy and cheesy sauce so much! It’s vegan, but not lacking in creaminess or flavor.

Put it on sweet potatoes, make it as a base for potato salad, put it on sandwiches, use it as a dip for chips and more! It's also the perfect meal topper for all your summer barbecues!

Servings: 8

Preparation + Cooking Time: 10 minutes

Suggested kitchen tools: high speed blender (or a regular blender or a food processor)

Ingredients:

3/4 Cup Cashews
1 Teaspoon Liquid Smoke (I found mine in the grocery store by the BBQ sauces)
1 Tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
2 Tablespoons Nutritional Yeast
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Cup Almond Milk

Directions:

Place all ingredients in a high speed blender and blend until smooth.
Eat and enjoy!

Notes:

I found all ingredients at Whole Foods
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.
