Soak the almonds in boiling water for at least 1 hour until the skins are easy to remove.
Skin the almonds by gently pressing to remove the skins. Rinse the skinned almonds.
Add the almonds, water, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, salt and garlic powder to a processor. Process until smooth. This takes up to 15 minutes in my food processor.
Green Pea Salad
Add the frozen peas to a steamer above a saucepan of water. Steam over medium heat for approximately 5 minutes, until almost cooked. Add the spinach to the steamer, and steam for another 5 minutes until the spinach is just wilted.
Transfer the peas and spinach to a serving bowl. Add the chopped mint and stir until just combined.
Serve warm or cooled, topped with ricotta and lemon.
