Ingredients
1
cup
almonds
3/4
cup
water
1/4
cup
lemon juice
2
Tablespoons
apple cider vinegar
1/3
cup
fresh basil
1
clove
garlic
3
Tablespoons
nutritional yeast
1
Tablespoon
Bragg's liquid aminos
Instructions
Add all ingredients to a high powered blender or food processor and process/blend until smooth.
Note that almonds are a hard nut so it takes a around 1-2 minutes of blending for the mixture to thin out and become the consistency of a dip/sauce.
For a thinner sauce, just add more water, 1 Tablespoon at a time until the consistency is how you like it.
