- 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- Optional: 1 teaspoon agave syrup or maple syrup for sweetness
Prepare the Almonds (if using raw):
Soak raw almonds in water for 2-4 hours to soften. Drain, peel, and set aside. Alternatively, use almond butter for convenience.
Blend the Ingredients:
In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine almonds (or almond butter), olive oil, water, lemon juice, tamari, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt.
Adjust the Flavor:
Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more lemon juice for tang, cayenne for spice, or a touch of sweetener if needed.
- For a milder flavor, reduce the cayenne and smoked paprika.
