Many of you have been loving my cauliflower mac and cheese recipe. I know that was only a couple of weeks ago, but I JUST remembered the Super Bowl is coming up (as you can see, I excel at planning ahead). So I spent a day earlier this week furiously testing this vegan cauliflower queso recipe. Made from silky smooth cauliflower and creamy cashews cooked with familiar nacho cheese flavors, this is my best vegan nacho cheese yet.
Anyway, I’ve seen many queso recipes call for Rotel. That’s cool too, but I kept things thematic and added a little bit of salsa to my cauliflower queso, as well as amping it up with sauteed onion, garlic and jalapeno. The rest of the jar of salsa went on my nachos (recipe coming soon… hopefully). Don’t have salsa" Tomato paste will do! There’s just a little bit of nutritional yeast and miso here for umami flavor too.
A few steps and dishes are needed to turn cauliflower and cashews into this delicious vegan queso dip, but I find with proper mise en place this recipe is actually quite easy! Something really delights me about not needing to mince...
