1/4 C. Nutritional Yeast
1 T. Corn Starch or Arrowroot Powder
2 t. Sea Salt

This can be used as a queso for chips, for cheese in lasagna, macaroni, broccoli and cheese soup, or anything else that needs a nice cheesy flavor. You can also add different spices to change the taste, such as chili powder or cumin for queso or basil and oregano for pasta dishes.
