Roquefort-Style Sauce

A Bold, Dairy-Free Take on a Classic Cheese Sauce

Creamy, tangy, and full of umami, this Roquefort-Style Sauce delivers all the depth and punch of traditional blue cheese—but it’s completely plant-based. Made with almonds, nutritional yeast, and a touch of lemon and garlic, it’s the perfect accompaniment for salads, veggie burgers, roasted vegetables, or as a rich dip.

Whether you're dairy-free or just curious, this sauce is an indulgent way to elevate any dish with complex, cheesy flavour—without the cheese.

Kitchen Tools

• Hand blender or food processor

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup almonds (preferably soaked if not using blanched)

• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast

• 1 tablespoon garlic (minced or chopped)

• 5 drops sriracha (optional, for depth)

• Juice of 1 lemon

• 1 tablespoon cheese-flavored seasoning (vegan if needed)

Instructions

1. Blend the base: Add the almonds, nutritional yeast, garlic, sriracha, lemon juice, cheese seasoning, and 2 tablespoons of water to your blender or food processor.

2. Adjust texture: Blend until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides. Add more water gradually if needed until you reach your preferred consistency.

3. Chill and store: Transfer the sauce to a lidded container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavours to meld.
