Here's a rich, tangy, and tasty replacement for the typical dairy-based sour cream. Start with raw cashews, and after a long soak, blend with remaining ingredients for a simple and smooth dip or dollop for your favorite chili.
Makes 1 1/2 cups
Ingredients
-
1½ cups cashews, soaked in water overnight, drained, and rinsed
-
¼ cup water, plus more if needed to make creamy
-
1 tablespoon lemon juice
-
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
-
¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
1. Place all the ingredients into the bowl of a food processor, or use a high-powered blender like a Vitamix or bullet-style blender. Blend until creamy. In the food processor, blending will take a little more time, so continue for 4 to 5 minutes, scraping the bowl every couple of minutes.
2. If you find the cream to be too grainy, add water by the tablespoon until it is the desired consistency.
3. Season to taste with lemon juice and salt.
