Ingredients
Healthy Vegan Hollandaise Sauce
  • ½ cup raw cashews, soaked in water for 2 hours and drained
  • ½ cup So Delicious Dairy Free Unsweetened Coconut Milk Beverage
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ⅝ teaspoon salt, or to taste
Spring Quinoa Bowl
  • 4 large carrots, peeled and sliced into rounds
  • 1½ lbs asparagus, woody ends trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 16 ounces mushrooms (of choice), thickly sliced
  • 3 cups cooked quinoa
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Fresh ground black pepper or paprika, for topping (optional)
Instructions
  1. To make the vegan hollandaise sauce, place the soaked cashews, milk beverage, vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, turmeric, smoked paprika, and the ⅝ teaspoon salt in your blender, and puree until smooth. Let the sauce sit while you prepare the rest of the meal; it will thicken slightly.
  2. To make the spring quinoa bowl, steam the carrot slices and asparagus until tender, about 10 minutes (if the asparagus is thin, it will take just 5 minutes).
  3. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, sprinkle with the ¼ teaspoon salt, and saute until just tender, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  4. Divide the cooked quinoa between two bowls. Top with the vegetables and drizzle with the vegan hollandaise - I use it all!
  5. Optionally sprinkle with fresh ground black pepper or paprika, to taste.
