Servings: 4 (about 1 cup)
Ingredients
- 30 grams (¼ cup)
pepitas* - 150 grams silken tofu
- ½ cup cilantro loosely packed
- ¼ cup green onions chopped
- 1 clove garlic chopped
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 3 tbsp lime juice
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- If using raw pepitas, soak them in water for a few hours or hot water for 15 minutes to make them easier to blend. Or you can lightly roast them at 350°F for 8-10 minutes for a nuttier flavor.
- Add everything to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Serve immediately or transfer to a jar and chill in the fridge. The sauce will thicken a bit more as it chills.
