Vegan Cheese Sauce (nut free/nooch free)

Every vegan recipe developer creates their version of vegan cheese sauce. And this is ours. (Well actually this is our third one. We also have a Fat Free Cheese Sauce and a Cashew Cheese Sauce)

I knew I had to share this special recipe when my 3 year old who previously snubbed her nose at all homemade cheese sauces proclaimed this to be her favorite! And would not stop requesting it. And thus, this is the cheese sauce recipe that will put the rest to shame.

This is also a nut free sauce. Great and safe for school lunches and allergies.

This cheese sauce recipe is versatile because it has a very neutral base. Below is a picture of it with added salsa to make a queso dip on Memorial Day.

This recipe is great with cheesy fries, nachos, mac and cheese, cheesy rice, etc. You name it. Dress it up dress it down, eat it with a spoon.
