Ingredients
- 2 cups bite-sized cauliflower florets
- ½ cup cashews
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 ½ tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon white sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- ½ teaspoon dried minced garlic
- ½ teaspoon dried minced onion
Instructions
- Place the cauliflower and cashews in a pot with enough water to cover them plus two inches. Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and let simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the cauliflower is fork tender.
- Drain the cauliflower and cashews, saving the cooking water. Allow to cool slightly.
- Place the cauliflower, cashews, ⅓ cup of the reserved cooking water, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, onion powder, garlic powder, and sea salt in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more of the reserved cooking water, a tablespoon at a time, until it reached the desired consistency.
- Transfer the mixture to a small bowl and mix in the sesame seeds, poppy seeds, minced garlic, and minced onion.
- Refrigerate until ready to use.
