This creamy, dreamy cheese sauce is so good that you won’t guess it is raw and vegan—unless you know what’s in it! With hemp and cashews for protein and minerals, bell pepper and nutritional yeast for vitamins, and garlic and onions to boost your immune system, cheese dips have never been so delectably healthy!

Ingredients (serves 4)

• 1/2 large red bell pepper
  
  
• 1/4 cup water
  
  
• 3/4 cup raw cashews, soaked for about 2 hours
  
  
• 1/4 cup hemp seeds
  
  
• 1 Tbsp tahini
  
  
• 2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
  
  
• 1/2 tsp Celtic Sea Salt®
  
  
• 2 small green onions, roughly chopped
  
  
• 1 garlic clove, crushed
  
  
• 1 Tbsp lemon juice

Directions
Blend everything in a high-speed blender until smooth. Refrigerate for a few hours for a thicker consistency, or enjoy right away!
