Homemade Cashew Based Hummus Recipe --- Paleo, Vegan, and Easy

I'm a big fan of hummus, but as they like to say, it isn't a fan of me. My body can't tolerate any legumes, even if they're soaked, fermented, sprouted, you name it, and the standard hummus is based on chickpeas, one of those legumes that I can't eat.
I've mentioned before how much I adore cashews, their versatility making them be great for anything from dairy free milks to vegan cheese cake to cream sauces to tzatziki sauce; I even use them for panna cotta. With that type of versatility, I'm sure you're not surprised to learn that this legume free hummus, suitable for both the Paleo diet and vegan diets, and many others, is based on cashews. Does it taste exactly like a chickpea based hummus? No, but it's definitely close enough and delicious in its own right.
Highly recommended for everyone. Eat this spread on your favorite bread or crackers (such as these grain free crackers) or as a dip for veggies. Or just by the spoonful if you're like me.
And if you want just a chickpea based hummus, here's how I make that.
