Soak the cashews in water for at least 4 hours or overnight. If short on time, soak in boiling water for 15 minutes.

Drain and rinse the soaked cashews thoroughly.

In a blender, combine the soaked cashews, 3/4 cup of water, lemon juice, and salt.

Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. For a thinner consistency, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and blend again.

Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
