You can cook dried beans whole to save money on this as well. I soak them overnight and then cook them in the slow cooker. They are delicious when prepared this way.

Legumes and Nuts are nutrient-dense foods that Can Be a Powerful Foundation in a Plant-Based Diet.

Instructions

  1. Pre-soak cashews 4-8 hours.
  2. Combine all ingredients into a high-speed blender and puree for 1-2 minutes to give a smooth consistency. If you don’t have time to soak the cashews, cook them in boiling water for 3-5 minutes, then let them soak for 10-15 minutes. Be sure to blend long enough for it to have a smooth consistency. Can add additional spices for your own flavor.
  3. Take this mixture and cook over medium-high heat until it reaches a low boil, whisking to maintain an even consistency. If it is not thick enough,  you can add 1 tbsp tapioca starch. Take a small portion from the pan, whisk in the starch, then return the whole mixture to the pan. You can also use a slow cooker, but it is a good idea to stir from time to time. It will keep for 2-3 days in the fridge after this.
  4. Add additional spices for your own flavor.

Putting the 7 Layer Dip Together

Serve with tortilla chips and enjoy!
