  • 2 cups raw macadamia nuts
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Juice from 1/2 medium lemon (about 1 tablespoon)

Instructions

  1. In a food processor or a high powered blender, puree the ingredients together until smooth.
  2. If necessary, scrape down the sides with a spatula and/or add a bit more water. The resulting texture should resemble-you guessed it!-ricotta cheese.
  3. Amplify the color and flavor by mixing in 1/4 teaspoon of smoked paprika. Or add minced sundried tomatoes and fresh basil.
