• 57 g roasted red pepper strips, drained
• 30 ml vegetable oil, pure
• 6 ml fresh lemon juice
• 14 g white miso paste
• 7 g Dijon mustard
• 17 g nutritional yeast flakes
• 2 g ancho chile, ground
• 1.4 g annatto chile powder

Tips

Viscosity will be loose/liquidy upon pureeing, but will set while refrigerated to resemble a prepared cheese-style queso viscosity.
Refrigerate a minimum of 1 hour to fully set and develop flavors.
Utilize the Vegan Almond Queso, chilled, depending on the desired application.

Notes

This Vegan Almond Queso is a flavorful, dairy-free alternative rich in heart-healthy fats, fiber, and vitamins from almonds.
