Step 1

Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender* (starting with the lesser amounts of lemon juice and water) and blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Taste and adjust, adding more cashews for richness/thickness, more nutritional yeast for “cheesiness,” more lemon juice for brightness, or more salt for overall flavor/balance.

Step 2

Enjoy on pasta or drizzle over chicken, fish, veggies, or bowls (recipe coming soon)!

Step 3

Leftover sauce will keep in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Not freezer friendly.
