I made this today to put on my burgers and it is DELICIOUS!

Oh great! I’d love to hear your burger recipe as I haven’t found one yet that isn’t too dry.

Excellent. Since macadamia nuts are soooooo expensive ($20/lb), I used a combo of macadamia and cashew nuts and it was still great.

I was suprised how great this tasted! Is there a reason to use the golden flax seed? I used it but thought it would be even whiter without it. I didn’t put the water in but used half a jicima and it turned out great. I think it was a little lighter but didn’t finish off the recipe exactly the way you made it so I’m not sure. This would also be a great chive dip for a party.

I tried this this morning….it is great!!! I bet it would be great on a sandwich. I had it with some Onion Garlic, Foods Alive crackers and some cherries! It was so good, I added some nutritional yeast.

It is good- but not as a a sour cream in my mind. I cut back on a clove of garlic (& I LOVE garlic) but there was still too much garlic.

Great recipe and good advice there leafekat. I completely omitted the garlic and added just a few drops of unpasteurised cider vinegar to boost the tang a little.

Oh yeah, you have to watch out for me and my recipes – I am a garlic fiend! I just saw another raw sour cream recipe posted as well, so will have to check that out!

Rawker, for the same reason I use half macadamia and half brazil soaked for 4-8 hrs. Brazil are fat enough to make cream.

I halfed the recipe, cut the flax, and used a bit of onion and some garlic powder because i dont have any garlic cloves. it was pretty watery so i added more nuts. Very good.
