Ingredients
Measures
- ½ cup raw macadamia nuts (unsalted)
- 3 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon water
- 1 heaping teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Soak your macadamia nuts in water for at least 3 hours-or overnight if you can plan ahead. (This is the secret to that dreamy smooth texture.)
Use just enough water to fully cover the nuts.
Drain and rinse the nuts, then add them to a food processor along with the water, salt, nutritional yeast, and lemon juice.
Blend until pretty smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
It will stay just a tiny bit grainy-and that’s ok.
In fact, that’s exactly what we’re aiming for.
Transfer to a container and keep up to 5 days in the fridge.
It’ll firm up slightly in the fridge but will stay soft and spreadable.
Simply spread it onto something, or pinch off little heaps with your fingers to scatter over salads and warm dishes.
