Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw cashews
  • 1 cup hot water
  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 3 teaspoons maple syrup
  • 3 teaspoons fresh lemon juice (or lime juice)
  • ½ teaspoon ground chipotle chili pepper (chipotle powder)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • Add the cashews and hot water to a glass dish and let soak for 30 minutes.
  • Drain cashews and add to blender or food processor with the remaining ingredients.
  • Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
  • Store in an airtight container and enjoy within 3-4 days.

Notes

  1. A high-powered blender or food processor works best for this recipe.
  2. This dip has a spicy kick. If you prefer a milder dip, just reduce the amount of chipotle powder you use.
  3. If you like it sweeter, you can add a little more maple syrup.
  4. Use freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice instead of bottled juices.
  5. If you'd like to use this dip as a salad dressing, just blend in a little more milk or water to make it a thinner consistency.
