This is a beautiful sauce to use with the GF crackers. It is raw, made in a blender. It doesn't get much easier than that. I'm told it is very "more-ish"
Cashew Cheese
BLEND until VERY smooth the following:
1 c. Raw cashews (1 gram fiber/oz.)
1/3 c. lemon juice
1 c. water
½ c. olive oil
2 T. sesame seeds (1 gram fiber/T.)
4 T. Nutritional Yeast (Savory Yeast Flakes) (4 g. fiber/T.)
1 t. onion powder
pinch garlic powder
1/8 t. celery seed or celery salt
1 to 1 ½ t. sea salt
When blended, ADD ½ c. roasted red peppers (capsicum) and blend again. (you can find Nutritional Yeast at Whole Foods or any health foods store). The peppers don't change the flavor much, but add the yellow cheddar color to it - and of course, it would add more fiber.
Use in Lasagna or “mac and cheese” with brown rice noodles for a healthy alternative. NOTE: For nachos: add jalapeno pepper and/or 1 can Ortega chilies. Makes a great enchiladas ‘cheese’.
There are approx. 26 grams of fiber in this whole recipe. I don’t recommend eating the whole batch in one sitting! A serving size would be about a ¼ c. with approx. 4 grams of fiber/serving. Serve with baby carrots for more fiber! With all this fiber, this recipe is perfect for Full Plate Living (www.fullplateliving.org)
