Cheesy Jalapeño Cashew Dressing

Ingredients

• 1 cup raw cashews*
• 3/4 cup water
• 1/4 cup lime juice ((or sub lemon juice))
• 2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
• 1 tsp white miso paste ((if soy-free, use chickpea miso))
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp maple syrup
• 3/4 tsp sea salt
• 2 cloves garlic, peeled
• 1 small jalapeño pepper, seeds removed, roughly chopped

Steps

1. 1

   Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend on high until super smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.

2. 2

   Use immediately at room temperature or transfer to a jar and refrigerate for 3-4 hours to chill. It will thicken in the refrigerator, so you can add more water later on to thin if needed.

3. 3

   Enjoy with salads, cauliflower wings, wraps, or for dipping veggies. Store leftover dressing covered in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days.
