Easy and lovely rice meal.

Prep Time: 10 mins
Additional Time: 5 mins
Total Time: 15 mins
Servings: 6
Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 ½ cups unsalted raw cashews
  2. ½ cup water
  3. 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  4. 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  5. ¼ teaspoon salt, or more to taste
  6. 3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Instructions

  1. Place cashews in a bowl. Add hot water to cover; soak for 5 to 10 minutes. Drain and transfer to a blender.
  2. Add 1/2 cup water, lemon juice, vinegar, and salt; blend until creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides every now and then. Stir in chives.
  3. Serve right away or let chill in the refrigerator before serving.
  4. Soaking the cashews aids in digestion. You can soak them in cool water for 2 to 3 hours instead of soaking in hot water.
  5. Use mineral salt if you can find it.
  6. A small, de-seeded, minced jalapeno pepper can be stirred in instead of chives, if preferred.

Very easy to make and super tasty. I have been using this cream cheese on everything – sandwiches, bagels, burritos, and even mixed in my scrambled tofu.
