Faux Parmesan

 A nice little topping for lasagna, pasta dishes, soups and veggies. You can leave it chunky or make it as fine as you like.

Faux Parmesan

•  1 cup raw almonds or cashews or walnuts*
•  ½ cup nutritional yeast
•  1 tablespoon salt-free seasoning – Table Tasty, Mrs Dash Garlic & Herbs, Costco Salt Free Seasoning or your choice.

In a food processor fitted with the “S” blade or in a blender, combine all ingredients until a powdery texture is achieved. If you like it chunkier, process less.
