Jalapeño Cashew Dip

This cashew based dip is smooth, creamy, and perfectly tangy with a hint of heat from the pickled jalapeños. If you’re avoiding legumes or are simply interested in expanding your dip repertoire you should give this a try!

If you don’t have any fermented jalapeños on hand, try store bought pickled jalapeños. If you’re not into spice, then use more sauerkraut in place of the jalapeños. I have used a my hand blender as well as my food processor and have achieved great results with both.

Spread it on a sandwich, use it as a dip for crackers and veggies, or dollop it on your pizza in place of cheese!

Jalapeño Cashew Dip

yields: about 1 cup**

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup Raw Cashews, soaked overnight (or at least 4 hours)
  • 1/4 cup Sauerkraut (drained)
  • 1/4 cup Fermented jalapeños (or pickled jalapeños) drained
  • 1/4 cup Yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 Tbsp. Nutritional yeast
  • 1 Tbsp. Lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp. Apple cider vinegar

Place cashews in a bowl or jar and cover with cold water. Leave on counter to soak overnight (or at least 4 hours). Drain and rinse.

Blend all ingredients until smooth. If it is too thick I like to thin with some sauerkraut or fermented jalapeño liquid.
