Packed with B-vitamins, healthy fats, protein and flavor, this dairy-free Easy Cheese Sauce is thick and creamy, making it ideal for fun dishes like nachos, Cheesy Fries and other appetizers and snacks, though it is also tasty on burgers and melts. This sauce is best the day it is made, but to save even more time, you can mix the dry ingredients and store them in an airtight container in your pantry.

Makes about 2 cups

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Total Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2/3 cup nutritional yeast
  • 2 t. tumeric
  • 2 cups soymilk
  • ¼ cup Tahini
  • ½ cup vegetable broth powder
  • 2 T. prepared mustard
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation:

1. Combine the nutritional yeast and tumeric in a small dish and set aside.
