Avocado Crema (Vegan, Gluten-Free)

You can make the silkiest, fluffiest, tastiest 100% plant-based (vegan) avocado crema with just 6 ingredients: cashews, lemon juice, garlic, white pepper, avocado, and plant-based milk. Soak the cashews for about 30 minutes, then puree them with all of the ingredients in a blender, and in minutes you have a fabulous dip!

I love to serve this with my jackfruit tacos, lentil patties, veggie balls, or simply with chips as a dip or bread as a spread. It lasts in the fridge for several days, too.
