  1. ½ cup raw, unsalted cashews
  2. 2 jarred roasted red bell peppers, well-drained
  3. 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
  4. 1 tsp. salt
  5. ½ cup nutritional yeast

Steps

  1. In a food processor or blender, place cashews, bell peppers, lemon juice, salt, and yeast. Blend until smooth, approximately 1 minute.
