You'll never guess this creamy sauce is completely vegan, and actually made from pureed cashews. To keep it gluten-free, use tamari.

Absolutely delicious and rich! I used the dressing in a kale carrot and jicama salad. I could've done without the jicama since it was too watery and interfered with the creamy texture. However this is a recipe I will definitely use again! Read More

First time I have made a dressing out of cashews. So easy! Only change I made was using coriander instead of parsley. Looking forward to using this on my lunches for the vegan pre made lunch article. Read More
