hi can this be frozen?
Kathy Carmichael
Hi Christina, I honestly haven't tried to freeze it, but I'm sure you can. I would recommend thawing completely, and you made need to give it another run in the blender. I hope you enjoy the dip. Happy Thanksgiving.

Would subbing white beans for the cashews work in this recipe?
Kathy Carmichael
Yes; you can substitute white beans or firm tofu.
