Green Cashew Sauce
Try this vegan green cashew sauce as a topping for power bowls, a salad dressing, or a spread on toast. It’s a great alternative to dairy-based sauces made with mayo or yogurt, and best of all, it comes together in under 10 minutes!
Ingredients
- ¾ cup cashews, soaked for 2-3 hours
- ¾ cup water or unsweetened almond milk
- ½ ripe avocado
- 1 scallion, both white and green parts roughly chopped
- 1-2 cloves of garlic, peeled
- 2 tablespoons of fresh herbs of your choice, for this recipe I used dill
- Juice of a lemon
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Drain and rinse the soaked cashews.
- Place them in the bowl of a food processor or a blender.
- Add in the water (or almond milk), avocado, scallion, garlic, fresh herbs, lemon juice, and salt and pepper into the blender.
- Puree until very smooth.
- Every 30 seconds, stop the machine and scrape the sides (or the bottom) of the bowl with a spatula.
- Taste for seasoning and add in if necessary.
- It will keep its freshness up to 4 days as long as it is kept in an airtight jar.
