Ditch the ranch dressing and add some nuts to your life. This homemade nut spread offers a mild and creamy alternative to the processed spreads you buy in the store. Best of all, it is simple to make and only requires six ingredients.

Ingredients:

• 4 tsp salt
• 1 cup almonds
• 1 cup raw cashews
• 1/2 cup water
• 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tablespoon date syrup

Instructions:

Place ingredients in a blender. Begin on the lowest blender setting and increase speed until a smooth consistency is reached. Note: if you do not have a high-speed blender, you may need to soak your cashews first. Follow the instructions specific to your machine.
