Garlic & Chive Spread {paleo & dairy free}
If you want a creamy Garlic & Chive Spread that is Paleo, vegan & all around dairy free, try this simple recipe with minimal ingredients or fuss!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup raw cashews, soaked overnight, rinsed & drained
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1/4 cup minced chives
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- In a food processor or blender, process the raw cashews until they begin to form a paste.
- Add all remaining ingredients except the fresh chives to the bowl and process until everything is smooth and combined. You will need to scrape the side of the bowl down a few times – and be patient, depending on how good your appliance is!
- Stir through the minced chives, then divide the mixture between two 4 oz mason jars.
- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before using.
Notes
This spread will stay thick and creamy while it is chilled / cool. Once it starts to warm up, it will eventually melt.
You can play around with the ratios in this recipe to come up with a version that suits you best. This 1:1 ratio of soaked raw cashews to coconut milk sets nicely and doesn’t melt quickly at room temperature. You can also make it with a ratio of 1:2 soaked raw cashews and coconut milk. This spreads more easily straight from the fridge – but the downside is that it will melt much more quickly.
