This recipe was last minute and turned out quite tasty, so I thought I would share. It is creamy, and holds well! This is a great alternative for cheese, and also gives you quite the boost of nutrients as well!
For those who follow my pages, salsa is a staple in my life. I recently had the privilege to be on the OKC VegFest team for the 2nd annual! Being there both years, I saw a huge difference, and we were even more successful! I am so ready for next year! It is every September in OKC.
Anyway, I sampled a medium salsa from Sixth Day Snacks while at VegFest and fell in love. Also, another favourite is from a small Mexican restaurant in eastern Oklahoma called Maria's. Every time my sister goes, I have her bring me a large container by.
With that being said, I use salsa a lot in my recipes, usually made from scratch, but I do enjoy supporting good salsa!
I hope you guys enjoy this as much as I did.
THIS TAKE 5-10 MINUTES TO MAKE. YIELDS 4 SERVINGS. VEGAN AND GLUTEN FREE!
Soak the cashew overnight OR if this is last minute like I did, bring water to a boil and put a 1/2C of cashews in a bowl with the water for 10-30 minutes.
Strain the cashews from the water and add to a blender. If the cashews are hot, they are going to require more liquid.
Add all of the ingredients to the blender and blend/pulse until completely smooth.
Try it out and adjust seasonings to your liking. More liquid may be needed! If it is too runny, add more cashews. Slowly adding ingredients will help you avoid a cruddy consistency.
Have this as a dip, topping, party treat, or on the road snack with some raw veggies!
Take a deep breath and be grateful you are able to be in the moment. Have a great day!
