Vegan Pimento Cheese Dip
This Vegan Pimento Cheese Dip is a creamy, tangy delight that’s ready in just 5 minutes, making it perfect for last-minute gatherings or a quick snack. Its velvety texture, thanks to blended cashews and plant-based cheese, pairs beautifully with the smoky sweetness of roasted red peppers.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups raw cashews
- ½ cup water more if needed to blend
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
- 2 tablespoons jarred pimento peppers more if desired
- 1 clove garlic
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon chopped chives for garnish
- Crackers
- Sliced vegetables (radishes, celery, or veggies of your choice)
Instructions
- In a high speed blender, combine the cashews, water, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, sriracha, pimento peppers, garlic, smoked paprika, salt and a generous pinch of pepper. Blend until smooth, using the blender baton to help keep the blade moving. If the mixture is too thick, gradually add more water until smooth. Chill until ready to use. Garnish the dip with the chopped chives and serve with crackers, celery, and radishes for dipping.
