Ingredients

  • ½ cup almonds preferably soaked overnight (about 8 hrs) and peeled, or blanched (Notes)
  • ½ cup macadamia
  • 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic crushed (about 1⁄2 clove garlic)
  • Pinch salt

Instructions

  • Put all the ingredients and ¼ cup water in the small bowl of the food processor fitted with the “S” blade, and process until creamy. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Notes

Blanching involves dipping the almonds in hot water for a few seconds. To skip this step, buy the almonds already blanched.
