Cashew Lemon Dressing
Vegan, Raw, Vegetarian, Gluten-free
This dressing is made with cold pressed cashew oil. Cashew oil is creamier in texture and tastes sweet and nutty, which makes an excellent combination with lemon and garlic. This recipe works great as a salad dressing but is also delicious as dipping sauce or a steak sauce.
Please note, the cashew nut is a nut type with lower oil yield than other types of seeds. The oil itself is creamier and thicker in consistency mild tasting. Personally I think it’s worth the extra effort because it tastes amazing, but you have been warned!
