Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups raw dry cashews

1T nutritional yeast

juice of 1/2 a lemon

1 tsp sea salt

1 1/2 tsp mixed herbs (preferably dry – but fresh is always great and best)

1/2 tsp crushed black pepper

1/4 to 1/2 cup chopped heirloom tomatoes (I used baby heirlooms)

slight drizzle of agave (stevia or raw honey would do just fine too)

1 cup of purified water

Preparation:

Combine all ingredients except agave and water into a food processor. Blend until well combine. Continue processing and add the agave, then slowly add the water, mixing until smooth and creamy. Consistency should be like a thick, smooth cheese sauce. Add more or less water as needed.
