I found this and have to share because it looks amazing! VERY low carb and full of dense nutrition! The cashew sour cream just might be a game-changer if you’re avoiding dairy.

Transfer to a pot and add the smoked paprika and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Turn off heat.

Cashew Sour Cream
from The Vegan Table by Colleen Patrick-Goudreau
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups raw cashews
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 to 3/4 cup water
salt, to taste
Instructions:
Blend cashews, lemon juice, 1/2 cup water and a little salt in a blender or food processor gradually moving from low to high speed. While the machine is running, add a little more water as needed until you have reached a consistency that is like whipped cream.
Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days. (I actually kept mine longer and it was still great.)
