Cashew Sauce
Cashew Sauce is a common substitute for sour cream or cream sauce. But it's also an incredible for jazzing up veggies and proteins!
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted roasted cashews
- 1/2 water
- 1/4 cup heavy cream optional
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
- 1-2 cloves fresh garlic coarsely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
Instructions
- Combine the cashews, water, heavy cream, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, salt and white pepper in a large food processor. Blend until creamy. Some small texture of the cashews might remain, this is normal. See notes for a fully smooth version.
- Cover and chill for 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to marry.
