Vegan “Cheese” Spread

Cashew cheese spread is a vegan alternative to “real” cheese and it’s pretty easy to make! Here’s how. In a food processor, blend:

• 1 C. unsalted cashews (soak in warm water 1+ hour)
• 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic
  
• 1/4 C. nutritional yeast
  
• 3-4 Tbsp. water
  
• 2-3 tsp. dijon or brown mustard
  
• salt and pepper to taste (I just used 1/4 tsp)
  
• scant amount Chipotle pepper (about 1/8 tsp)
