Nachos With Homemade Vegan Cheese Sauce Recipe

Who says you need meat and cheese to have over-the-top, mouth-watering nachos? Topped with beans, salsa, guacamole, and an easy homemade vegan cheese sauce, these nachos will disappear in a flash. Use store-bought salsa and guacamole, or make your own: try our fresh tomato salsa and our all-purpose guacamole. The vegan cheese sauce comes together in no time, but you will need to think ahead a bit to soak the cashews. You'll also need a blender. If you have a fancy, vitamix-style blender with a lot of power, you can get away with only soaking the cashews for about half an hour. For a regular blender, soak the nuts for at least an hour. Either way, make sure you blend up the sauce until it is super smooth. This recipe calls for nutritional yeast, a healthy ingredient that adds a nice cheesy flavor. You can find it in health food stores or sometimes the bulk aisle.
