Easy Dairy-Free Cashew Queso Dip

Cashew Queso Dip

This dairy free cashew queso dip tastes legit. Cheese can be a tough one to minimize or eliminate, but thankfully cashews come to the rescue in so many recipes. I'm still figuring out better cheese alternatives for certain things, but thankfully I've got queso down now and now you will too.
