• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons salt

• 1⁄2 teaspoon turmeric powder (more if you want it to really be that "mac and cheese" color)

2. Mix all remaining ingredients in a blender.

I was pretty excited to try this recipe but I found it really wasn't that good. It tasted like...well, turmeric and mustard, not much else. It wasn't the worst thing I've ever eaten but I probably wouldn't make it again. Sorry!
