  • 3 tablespoons whole grain Dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, (melted)

Instruction

  • Place the cashews, mustard, nutritional yeast, coconut oil, maple syrup, and salt into the bowl of a food processor. Blend until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Taste-test the mixture and make any adjustments to suit your taste.
  • Transfer the mixture to a sheet of plastic wrap. Gently wrap plastic around the mixture and press it into a ball shape*. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
