This creamy, dairy-free queso sauce is made from cashews and packed with cheesy flavor, thanks to the addition of nutritional yeast. It’s rich, smooth, and perfect for drizzling over nachos, dipping veggies, or adding to your favorite dishes. This plant-based queso is not only delicious but also a great source of healthy fats and B-vitamins from the nutritional yeast, making it a wholesome alternative to traditional cheese sauces.
Cashews are rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, which can help lower bad cholesterol levels. They also provide plant-based protein, essential minerals like magnesium and copper for bone health, and antioxidants that support overall well-being. Nutritional yeast, often used in plant-based cooking for its cheesy flavor, is packed with B-vitamins when fortified, especially B12, which is crucial for energy and red blood cell production. It also contains fiber and is a good source of protein, making it a nutritious addition to dairy-free cheese recipes.
