Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup raw cashews (soaked overnight or in boiling water for 15-20 minutes)
- 1/2 cup non-dairy milk
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp wasabi (or 1 tsp dijon mustard)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tbsp vegan worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp capers (with their brine)
- 1/4 tsp salt and pepper
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
*All of the ingredients for this recipe are from our pantry and freezer tips!
Instructions
- Soak cashews overnight or boil water and using a glass measuring cup or bowl, pour the boiling water over the cashews and allow to soak uncovered for 15-20 minutes.
- Drain your cashews and add them to your blender with the remaining ingredients. Pulse a few times to break down the cashews. Then blend until creamy and smooth.
- Taste and adjust the seasonings to your liking. Add more garlic if desired, salt to bring out the flavours even more, wasabi or dijon for zing, or more nutritional yeast for a deeper flavour and cheesiness.
- Serve immediately over a salad or in a wrap. Or refrigerate for 3-4 days. The sauce will thicken as it sits in the fridge. If desired, simply add a dash more milk and stir to thin slightly before serving.
