Description
A cashew-based queso dip that has tons of flavor and would fool even the pickiest of queso aficionados! This recipe is best made in a high powered blender (I have a Vitamix®). I cannot say what it would be like in something different! Enjoy with tortilla chips or homemade salsa.
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 2 ½ cups hot water, divided
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons fresh salsa
- 2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon ancho chile powder
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ¾ teaspoon ground cumin
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Place cashews in a bowl and cover with 1/2 of the hot water. Soak for 5 minutes. Drain.
- Combine drained cashews
- remaining 1 1/4 cup hot water
- nutritional yeast
- salsa
- garlic
- ancho chile powder
- Dijon mustard
- cumin
- and salt in a high-powered blender (such as Vitamix®). Start blending at lowest speed and slowly increase the speed. Blend for 2 minutes. Add more hot water if you want the queso to have a pourable consistency.
