Condiments:
Raw Cheddar Cheese Spread (Days 11-20)
Yield: 1 1/2 cups

* 1 1/2 cups plus 1/3 cup water
* 1 1/2 cups raw cashews
* 1 tablespoon sun-dried tomatoes
* 1 tablespoons raw tahini
* 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
* 1/2 teaspoon Bragg Liquid Aminos
* 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
* 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Combine 1 1/2 cups water, cashews, and sun-dried tomatoes in a small bowl and set aside to soak for 2 hours. Drain off soaking water and discard.

Transfer cashews mixture to a food processor fitted with an S blade. Add remaining 1/3 cup water, tahini, lemon juice, liquid aminos, garlic powder, and paprika. Process for 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the container with a rubber spatula and process for 1 or 2 more minutes or until completely smooth. Transfer mixture to a small bowl.

Serve as a spread for raw veggies, fruit, crackers, slices of bread, or for sandwiches. Store spread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Variation: Turn this spread into a mock cheddar cheese sauce by blending it with an additional 1/4 cup water or more, and use it as a sauce of dip for raw or cooked vegetables. For extra flavor, add 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast flakes.
