Ingredients

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients, except water, in a food processor and process until smooth. Scrape down the sides.
  • Turn the food processor back on and drizzle the water, if needed to thin out the dip, through the chute in the top. Start with 1-2 tablespoon(s) of water and add more 1 tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings to your liking.

Notes

~ Use raw cashews and soak them for at least 30 minutes in hot water before draining and adding to the recipe.
~ Use jarred roasted red peppers for convenience. Use just the peppers, not the liquid.
~ Scrape down the sides of the food processor as necessary to ensure all ingredients are incorporated fully.
~ Add water 1 tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
~ Taste and adjust seasonings to your liking!
~ For a nut-free option, use a can of white beans (drained and rinsed) instead of cashews.
