Creamy Dairy-free "Alfredo Sauce"

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1 small head of cauliflower, chopped into florets
  • 1/3 cup white or yellow onion, diced
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil (can use Earth Balance or butter as well but stick with EB/oil for dairy-free & vegan)
  • 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup veggie broth (or chicken broth if not vegetarian, could probably use dairy-free milk if desired)
  • 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1/4 cup coconut milk (from can)
  • 1 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2-3 tsp lemon juice
  • sea salt (helps bring out the flavor since cheese isn't used)
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste (I used about 3/4 tsp but I like pepper)

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, steam cauliflower until tender and can easily be pierced with a fork. (I used a steamer basket and cooked the cauliflower for about 5-6 minutes).
  • Meanwhile, heat olive oil over medium low heat in a medium skillet or saucepan. Add onion and saute for a few minutes, then add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.3. Stir in broth and heat through.
  • Add cooked cauliflower, onion/garlic/broth mixture, and remaining ingredients to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add more coconut milk if needed. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve over ANYTHING!!!!
