Lime garlic cashew sour-cream

Original recipe

Vegan, gluten-free, grain-free, no bake/raw, oil-free, refined sugar-free, soy-free

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup raw cashews
  • 1 large garlic clove
  • 1/2 cup water, or as needed
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons avocado
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Optional 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves

Directions:

  1. Add the cashews into a small bowl and cover with boiling water. Soak for 1 hour. Alternatively, you can soak the cashews in room temperature water for 8 hours or overnight.
  2. Drain and rinse the soaked cashews.
  3. Add all of the cashew cream ingredients into a high-speed blender. Blend on high until a super smooth sauce forms. If using a Vitamix, use the tamper to get things moving. If your blender is having a hard time blending, you can add a splash more water to help things along.
