I just used fresh red bell pepper. It worked great and tasted amazing.
Check with your doctor on that. Raw, unsalted nuts are a good source of protein. Don’t know your specific situation, but I think someone may have confused the salted nuts with ANY nuts. Most nuts can be bought in bulk at a health food store in the unsalted form.
Unbelievably good!!! This was so easy to make, and tastes like cheese. I love it, and will whip this recipe up when I am having friends over too!
No need to soak the cashews but the almonds truly make all the difference in consistency. They thicken it up a bit! Glad you enjoyed the taste despite how thin it was. Make sure to check out our Amazing Vegan Cheese Sauce, it’s divine!
Just made this tonight!! Tastes delicious but the consistency way wayyyy too thin. :( I followed the recipe for the most part, but didn’t have any almonds so I used more cashews. Was I supposed to soak the cashews first?! Thanks!! Excited to try more of your vegan recipes!! :)
