Instructions
Prepare the “refried beans”:
After soaking the sunflower seeds and sundried tomatoes, drain them and place in a food processor fitted with the S blade.
Process until they start to break down.
Add the water, cumin, salt, dulse flakes and smoked paprika and process until almost smooth but with a little texture, much like refried beans.
Distribute the mixture evenly into the bottom of the bowl(s) of your choice.
Prepare the “cheese sauce”:
Be sure to soak the cashews for at least 2 hours; this will help soften the nuts to make a smooth, creamy sauce. Drain and rinse when ready to use.
In a high-powered blender, combine all “cheese sauce” ingredients and blend until creamy.
Spread the mixture smoothly over the “refried beans.”
Prepare the guacamole:
In a food processor, combine all the guacamole ingredients and blend until smooth.
Spread on top of the dip.
Garnish with any additional toppings of your choice.
Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate.
Can be made up to 1 day in advance.
