Preparation
Step 1
Soak Cashews in water for 3 hours (or up to 24 hours refrigerated). Drain the cashews saving the water.
Step 2
Place the cashews in a food processor with the salt and vinegar and pulse repeatedly. Scrape down the sides and continue blending, repeating if necessary.
Step 3
Add the cashew water, with the motor running, a tablespoon at a time to get the desired consistency. I typically add 3-4 tablespoons. Then blend for 1-2 minutes.
Step 4
Taste and feel free to add any optional additions.
Step 5
For a smoky flavor add 1/4 -1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika.
Step 6
