The best dairy-free "cheese" sauce (easy to make)

[tammy]

I encourage *anyone* who is looking for a yummy sauce to try this. It's easy to make and is great on a variety of foods - as a sauce/spread for sandwiches, nachos, over greens -- endless possibilities~!

Just wanted to give a plug for a wonderful cookbook filled with easy to make vegan sauces, dips and dressings, "The Saucy Vegetarian" by Joanne Stepaniak. I would highly recommend that anyone interested in easy vegan or vegetarian cooking check out this cookbook .

We had raved about this to another vegan friend (several times) and she finally tried it. Now all she talks about eating/making is this tahini cheese! Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

"I Can't Believe It's Not Cheese Sauce"
3/4 cup water
6 tbsp tahini
2 tbsps nutritional yeast flakes
2 tbsps fresh lemon juice
2 tbsps chopped onions (*)
2 tbsps sweet white miso
1/4 to 1/2 tsp salt

(*) used 2 green onions

Place all ingredients in a blender and process until creamy and smooth.

Author Stepaniak recommends this for elbow macaroni and lima beans; whole-grain toast points with sliced tomatoes; yukon gold potatoes and collard greens

Thanks Tammy!

That is awesome. I have request some vegan cookbooks from my local library so I can get some education before I get to sunny California!

I will begin a search for the items to make this cheese sauce. If I can't find them I know I will find them near my new home!

Cheers
