Garlic and Pepper Cashew Dip

When soaked for a few hours, cashews can be blended to a creamy consistency that you would swear is made of dairy, but it’s not.

This recipe combines them with garlic, olive oil, and fresh black pepper for a cashew dip that is out of this world. Nutritional yeast adds a nutty, slightly cheesy flavor, but feel free to leave it out.
