Looking for a creamy dairy-free sauce?
This 5-minute sauce is what you need.
A sauce made out of cashews? I know, you’re not ready for this.
Lately, I’ve been trying to avoid dairy as much as possible. When looking for milk/cream alternatives, I’ve been seeing a lot of vegan people use cashews in their sauces.
Well, the rest is history.
Let me tell you one thing, cashew nuts are SO underrated. This sauce has become a staple in my meals; on top of roasted veggies, as pasta sauce, on toasted bread… and I’m just thinking that we could actually make it sweet too!
Whether you eat plant-based or not, you need to try this vegan cashew sauce, you won’t be disappointed. Creamy, healthy, and ready in a few minutes only – you’ll thank me later.
