A creamy, tangy, slightly sweet, oil-free spread inspired by Miracle Whip. Delicious on sandwiches, wraps, baked potatoes, or as a dip for vegetables.

Equipment

  • High-speed blender

Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw cashews
  • 1/2 cup water plus more if needed

  • 2 teaspoons dill pickle juice
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup or 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  • Soak the cashews in hot water for 20-30 minutes, then drain and rinse. Place all ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend until completely smooth and creamy. Add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach your preferred consistency.
