Ingredients
- 1 cup (125 g) cashews, soaked 3 hours, rinsed, drained
- ½ cup (120 ml) water
- 3 Tablespoons (45 ml) lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ garlic clove, peeled
- ¼ shallot
- ground black pepper, to taste
Directions
- Drain soaked cashews and rinse thoroughly.
- Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure lid.
- Select Variable 1, start the machine, and slowly increase to its highest speed.
