My niece was over last week and made a batch with walnuts. That was a bit of a stronger flavor but it certainly has it’s place. I’m thinking chili.

Cashews are traditional though as they come closer to dairy parmesan cheese in flavor. Nutritional yeast and other spices are balanced just right. You’ll be glad you made a batch.
