This dip is low-carb (less than 20 grams of carbohydrate per serving), dairy-free and gluten-free.
"This delicious dip is high calorie since it's made from cashews, and it doesn't skimp on flavor!" Kevin Curry of FitMenCook says. "For snacking, I recommend enjoying it with fresh vegetables such as celery, carrots, and mini sweet bell peppers. You can also use this dip as a delicious sandwich spread or salad dressing and even in place of sour cream on a baked potato."
Pro Tip: Nutritional yeast gives this recipe a nutty, subtle cheese flavor without adding dairy products. It's a vegan ingredient staple that's crossing over into mainstream cooking. Try it out to see if it's something you'd like to begin incorporating into your diet.

Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups raw cashews
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 whole or 3 tablespoons chopped chipotle peppers in adobo
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk, vegetable broth or canned coconut milk
- ¼ cup unsweetened nutritional yeast
- 1 lemon, juiced, plus more juice for garnish
- Sea salt and black pepper, plus cracked pepper for garnish
- Sliced green onions, for garnish
Yield
Serves: 14
Preparation
Soak the cashews in water in a large bowl for 3 to 4 hours in the refrigerator. Drain, then add cashews to a food processor or high-powered blender.
Add remaining ingredients to the food processor or blender (except for any garnishes) and blend until smooth, 3 to 5 minutes. Thin the mixture with broth, milk or lemon juice 1 tablespoon at a time to reach the desired consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve immediately or refrigerate an hour or two beforehand. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
