Ingredients
  

For the veggies
  • 3 small carrots chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper cut into pieces
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/2 zucchini cut into pieces
  • handful of cherry tomatoes
  • 2 cups water
For the sauce
  • 1/2 cup raw cashews
  • 1/2 cup hemp seeds or sub more cashews
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1 tsp chipotle powder
  • 2 tsp liquid aminos
  • optional additional pinch of salt to taste
  • about 1 cup reserved veggie boiling water

Equipment

  • 1 high powdered blender
  • 1 small pot to boil veggies

Method
 

  1. 1. Boil all the veggies water in a small pot until they are fork tender- about 10- 15 minutes. Set aside and let cool for a few minutes.
  2. 2. Add boiled veggies plus the rest of the ingredients to a high powdered blender and blend on high until smooth. Taste and adjust salt levels- I like it without the extra salt but you may want to add some to your taste preference.

Notes

Use as a dip with crackers/ chips or veggies or pour as a sauce on top of steamed veggies like broccoli or potato!
