Vegan Queso

I love cheese. I just wish it loved me. It doesn't. It hates me. I had to finally come to grips with this toxic relationship and love myself enough to say goodbye. Like all toxic relationships, I am sure I will try again down the line, only to be burned once again. 

In all seriousness. I have to have cheese and if I can't have the real thing, I will make one better. This is indeed better than regular queso, in my opinion, AND even in the opinion of my daughter. So give it a try. If you are like me your insides will thank you! 

Vegan Queso

1 cup raw cashews , soaked for at least 4 hours up to overnight, and drained
1/4 cup water (plus more, if needed)
1 teaspoon sea salt
1.5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
14 oz . can diced tomatoes with green chiles (rotel)

Put it all in the blender and blend until smooth. Store in the fridge. Use like you do regular queso.
