Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted, raw sunflower seeds
1 cup cold water
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt - optional
Soak sunflower seeds in hot water for 20 minutes then strain. Add all the ingredients to a blender; blend until smooth and creamy. Store in refrigerator.
Use within 5 days. There will be some separation of the ingredients as it sets in the refrigerator, this will not change the taste - just give it a good stir before using. Can be used as a veggie dip, on baked potatoes, or a sandwich spread.
This recipe is very versatile; you can use half sunflower seeds and half raw cashews.
If using cashews, they will need to soak in water at room temp for at least 4 hours before blending with the other ingredients. I'm thinking a mix of dehydrated vegetables added for a change of flavor would be delicious too. 😋
