Ingredients
- 2 – cups of Cashews
- 1/2 cup of Nutritional Yeast
- 1/2 cup of diced fresh Tomato
- 1/2 of a small Onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves of fresh whole Garlic peeled
- 1 – small Jalapeño, seeds and ribs removed finely chopped
- Juice from one small lime
- 1/2 bunch of cilantro washed and diced stems removed
- Water as needed
- Sea salt, to taste
Directions
- Drain the cashews and place into vitamix (or other high speed blender).
- Add, the nutritional yeast and cloves of garlic.
- On a low speed, begin blending the nuts while adding water a little at a time. (You want this mixture to have the consistency of regular queso so be cognizant of adding the water slowly and you are blending.)
- Blend until the cheese is creamy about 3- 5 minutes.
- Chop onion, tomato, cilantro + jalapeño mix together and add the fresh lime juice and sea salt. Place Cashew queso in a bowl and top with your salsa fresco, serve with your favorite organic chip or fresh cut vegetables.
