For some people, it’s acidic tomato sauce piled high on spaghetti. For others, it’s hot Indian curry, rich in flavor, but a tad too spicy. We all have favorite foods that we know we should avoid. If dairy is your off-limits food group, your tacos, burritos, potatoes and dips are sadly missing a key ingredient. You’ll need a plant-based, tummy-friendly version of the creamy condiment to ignite your senses in a good way.

Liana’s tips:
- For nut-free alternative, use hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds.
- For a creamier sour cream, soak the cashews for 4 hours.
- Refrigerated in an air-tight container or jar, this sour cream will last up to 2 weeks.
