Instructions

1 Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
2 Add the cauliflower florets and cashews, and boil for 7 to 10 minutes, or until
the cauliflower is fork-tender.
3 Once the cauliflower and cashews are ready, add them to a high-speed blender
along with the water, nutritional yeast, jalapeño juice, sea salt, starch, and
garlic powder. Blend on high for 2 minutes, or until completely smooth and
creamy.
4 Transfer to a medium saucepan. Heat over medium-low for 3 to 5 minutes, or until
the sauce begins to thicken, whisking constantly.
5 Stir in the green chilis. Taste and season with more salt and/or pickled
jalapeño juice, if desired. If you'd like to up the kick, stir in a few dashes
of cayenne pepper, too.
6 Serve warm with plenty of tortilla chips for dipping.
