Ingredients
  

  • 200 g raw cashews
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 0,5 tsp salt
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • chopped chives (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Soak the cashews in hot water for 10–15 minutes. Drain and rinse them thoroughly. Soaking the cashews make them easier to blend and you will have a more creamy texture.
  • Place all ingredients (except chives) into a food processor (a hand blender can be used as an alternative).
  • Blend the mixture until it becomes smooth. If needed, add more water.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt or lemon juice according to your preference. Garnish with freshly chopped chives.
  • Let it cool in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving.
