- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/4 tsp chili powder

- 1 cup boiling hot water (add more to thin out as needed)
Directions
- Add the cashews and all the spices in a high speed blender like Vitamix.
- Blend on high, and scrape the sides down intermittently to make a spread.
- Add small amounts of hot water while the blender is running from the top opening and slowly blend the ingredients into a thick, spreadable cheese consistency.
- Serve over salads, burritos, nachos or with vegetables as a dip.
...AND ENJOY!
