Vegan Cheese-Style Sauce

Vegan Cheese-Style Sauce

EverydayCooked

Vegan cheese-style sauce is a dairy-free alternative typically made from a base of nuts, vegetables, or legumes combined with nutritional yeast for a cheese-like flavor. This plant-based sauce usually features ingredients like cashews, potatoes, or carrots blended with seasonings to create a creamy, versatile consistency similar to traditional cheese sauce. While lower in calcium compared to dairy-based alternatives, it often provides beneficial nutrients from its whole-food ingredients while serving as a suitable option for those avoiding dairy products.
