Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup raw cashews *
  • 1 Tablespoon + 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 Tablespoons unsweetened plain plant milk 
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon stone ground mustard *
  • 1 Medjool date
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt (+/-) *
  • 2 drops hot sauce *

Instructions

  1. Softening cashews: There are 3 methods to choose from. Method One: Place cashews in a bowl, cover with water, and soak for a minimum of 2 up to 8 hours. Drain the water and then use according to recipe directions. Method Two: Place cashews in a bowl and cover with boiling water, wait 15 to 20 minutes.  Drain the water and then use according to recipe directions. Method Three: Place cashews in small sauce pan.
