I found a recipe for a raw “cheese” sauce, and decided to try it out despite my hesitance. After it was all done, both QB and I thought it reminded us more of pimento cheese, but it still isn’t a true cheese sub. I don’t know how to tell you want to expect if you have never made anything like this before; just keep an open mind. QB hated it first bite, but then went on the eat most of the bowl. Ha.

Raw “Pimento Cheese” Dip/Sauce (small recipe, may want to double)

1/4 large red bell pepper
1/8C  water (more if wanted)
75g Raw cashews (or other nut/seed if you want)
1 T Tahini
1 T Nutritional yeast
1/2 t salt
10-20g Onion
1 Clove garlic
1 T lemon juice

I have this mini food processor that I used to blend it all together. We ate the dip with cucumber slices, black olives, grape tomatoes, and carrot slices. If I ate bread, it would make a great pimento cheese filler alternative. I should try to make a wrap or some other bread-like item to sandwich it in.
