Raw – Red Pepper & Cashew Dip

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

My family requested this dip for an appetizer at our turkey dinner this weekend, and asked that I please post the recipe! so finally – here it is! I must credit my dear friend Amber – the most fabulous vegan cook I know :)

This dip is great, easy to make, and pretty healthy! (fat from nuts is healthy fat :) )

This is a raw food recipe and is great as a dip or a sauce. Enjoy!

2 cups raw unsalted cashews
1/4 cup raw almonds
1/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds
2 cloves raw garlic
1/2 small raw onion
3 raw red peppers (or 2 large ones)
1/4 cup water

Cut and seed the peppers, put them in a food processor with garlic and onion. Add the water, pumpkin seeds, almonds and gradually add the cashews. Blend them in the food processor until smooth – add more water if it is too dry / thick or if you’re planning on using it as a runny sauce rather than a dip.
