Ingredients
- 1 cup raw unsalted almonds, soaked in water for 8 hours overnight, drained
- 2 tbsp yellow miso paste
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/8 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 cup plain unsweetened almond milk, or as needed
- 1/2 cup packed minced fresh dill, divided
Preparation
1. Rinse almonds and add to a food processor. Process for several minutes, stopping to scrape down sides of machine as needed to make a fine meal. Add miso, vinegar, yeast, garlic powder and salt. Process until fully incorporated.
2. To processor, add ½ cup milk and 6 tbsp dill. Process for about 2 minutes longer, or until mixture is smooth (about the texture of ricotta), adding 1 to 2 tbsp additional milk if needed to reach desired consistency. Transfer to a bowl and top with remaining 2 tbsp dill. Will keep up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
