This dip has got some punch! I absolutely love the creamy texture the cashews give as well as the action-packed flavor from the tomatoes and nutritional yeast.
Let's not forget some good health benefits too. Protein and valuable fats from cashews and hemp seeds, as well as B complex vitamins from the nutritional yeast (a strain called Saccharomyces cerevisiae which does not contribute to Candida overgrowth).
Ingredients
- 1 cup cashews
- ½ cup semi dried tomatoes
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- Zest of half a lemon
- A pinch chili flakes
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 11/2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon pine nuts
- 2 pinches fine sea salt
- Cracked pepper to taste
- ½ teaspoon maple syrup
- A little water
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients except the water in a mini food processor. Blend to a pasty consistency (with a little texture). You will need to scrape the edges and push the mix down a few times.
- Add a little water (~a teaspoon) if too thick.
- Keep in a glass container in the fridge for 5-7 days.
