Cashew Queso (vegan cheese dip or sauce)

This delicious, cheesy vegan dip would have to be one of the quickest and easiest to make low GI snacks. It’s delicious served with a rainbow of vegetable crudites or corn tortillas. Or make it as a side to go with any Mexican inspired meal.

Ingredients

  • 140 g raw cashew nuts - (1 cup/s)
  • ¾ cup/s boiling water
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 clove/s garlic
  • 1 chipotle in adobe sauce
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp ground cumin

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients together in a high speed blender or processor. Process until smooth and creamy, approximately 1 minute. If you're using a Thermomix, 2 minutes, speed 8 (scraping sides).
  • If you find it’s too thick, add more water. If it’s not quite thick enough, add more cashew nuts.
  • Place in a serving dish and chill until ready to enjoy.

Notes

Tip

It's got just a hint of heat, but if you prefer a spice-free Queso, replace the chipotle chilli with a teaspoon of smoked paprika.
