Today we are coming at you with our latest obsession — cashew mustard cheese sauce aka the cashew cheese sauce of your dreams.
This creamy and decadent vegan cheese dip is perfect for vegans and non-vegans alike. It is extremelyย versatile, super easy to make and so damn delicious– you’re going to love it.This recipe is simple and requires just 6 ingredients! The most difficult part is the steaming of the potatoes which you probably know is an easy task, it just sometimes requires patience when you are hungry ๐
All that you have to do for this recipe is soak the cashews and steam the potatoes until they are both nice and soft, and then place them into a high-speed blender along with vegetable broth, mustard, turmeric, and lemon juice. Blend that all together until nice and smooth and voila, dig in!There are so many ways that you can serve our cashew mustard cheese!
- Serve it as a dip with homemade baked potato fries, your favorite veggies and/or crackers. This is perfect for date nights or parties!
- Drizzle it on baked potatoes as a substitute for vegan sour cream or shreddedย vegan cheese
- Thin it out and use it as a dressing: combine 1 tablespoon of the cashew mustard cheese with enough water to achieve a dressing like consistency. Add it on top of your favorite salad!
- Spread it into a sandwich or burger in place of mayonnaise. An example is pictured below.
- Use it in a wrap! We usually add hummus into our wraps,ย but this makes a great substitute and adds such a unique flavor!
- Use it as a pasta sauce!
This cashew mustard cheese dip can be used as a sauce as well! It pairs perfectly with our Easy Veggie Burger Sliders. This is a recipe that Chris and I created almost 2 years ago and it is still one of our favorites to date! They are easy to make and jam-packed with flavor.

Hi Jasmine, what do you mean by German mustard? Thanks!
Hi Kelly! German mustard is usually coarsely ground, sharp and spicy! If needed you can use any mustard of choice ๐
This dip sounds like it would make a very yummy salad dressing!
