Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 8 minutes
Total Time: 23 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups raw cashews soaked overnight
  • 1 heaping cup cauliflower florets steamed
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 2/3 to 1 cup unsweetened cashew milk see note*
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 stalk green onion
  • 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  • Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover them with 2 inches of water. Leave on the counter to soak overnight. Strain and pat dry.
  • Steam the cauliflower for 5 to 8 minutes, until tender when poked with a fork.
  • Add all ingredients for the dip to a blender or food processor. Start with 3/4 cup cashew milk and use up to 1 cup if necessary. Note: adjusting the amount of nut milk determines the thickness of the queso. For a very thick queso, use ½ cup nut milk.
  • Blend until completely smooth and no clumps are visible.
  • Taste dip for flavor add additional green onion and/or sea salt to taste.

Notes

*Adjust amount of cashew milk based on desired consistency of dip. For thinner dip, use 1 cup of cashew milk. Substitute unsweetened almond milk for cashew milk.
