Ingredients

  • 8 oz enchilada sauce
  • ½ cup medium spicy salsa
  • 1 cup roasted salted cashews
  • ½ cup nutritional yeast

Instructions

  • Add enchilada sauce, salsa, nutritional yeast, and roasted salted cashews to a high speed blender.
  • Blend until smooth
  • To heat the dip, microwave in 15 second increments in a bowl until desired heat. If you heat it up in a sauce pan on the stove, it is still delicious, but will thicken up considerably.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container

Notes

This is a fairly spicy dip. To make less spicy, you could use a milder salsa.
Raw cashews are NOT a substitute in this recipe, for they require soaking before blending. What you want here is already roasted and salted cashews.
