In fact, check out the recipe below for some additional ideas.

Recipe--

Ingredients-
1 cup of raw cashews, soaked for 8-12 hours
2 tablespoons of Nutritional Yeast
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon of Avocado oil- or any oil of choice
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons Apple Cider Vinegar

1. Measure out raw cashews and pour them into a medium sized mixing bowl. Pour enough water to cover an inch above the cashews. The cashews need room to soak and will swell slightly in bowl. Cover with a tea towel and leave at room temperature. Soak cashews for at least 8 hours, 10-12 is best.
2. Drain cashews of their soaking liquid and rinse well. transfer cashews into a high speed blender or food processor bowl and blend until smooth. This will take a few minutes but is worth the effort.
3. Once cashews are smooth, pour in all of the liquid ingredients. Blend until everything is well incorporated, being sure to stop and stir as needed to ensure proper mixing and pureeing. Add in the remaining ingredients and blend again until combined.
4. Remove mixture from vessel and enjoy!
