Ingredients
1-1/2 cups raw soaked nuts (almonds and cashews work best, but macadamias will do)

1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1 tbsp miso paste
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp mustard powder
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/2 cup coconut oil, melted at very low heat
