Yield Makes 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups raw macadamia nuts
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Juice from 1/2 medium lemon (about 1 tablespoon)
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • DO THIS:
  • In a food processor or a high powered blender, purée the ingredients together until smooth.
  • If necessary, scrape down the sides with a spatula and/or add a bit more water. The resulting texture should resemble-you guessed it!-ricotta cheese.
  • KA-POW!
  • Amplify the color and flavor by mixing in 1/4 teaspoon of smoked paprika. Or add minced sundried tomatoes and fresh basil.
