Just make it. You’ll be happy you did. Your salads, tacos, or possibly French fries will taste extra good this week. What I love about it is that many dressings you need to make last minute to taste good. This one however, keeps pretty well for 3-4 days and doesn’t solidify too much. Just give it a good shake each time and you’re set. If you’re in the mood for a lentil taco salad, this easy and creamy cashew chipotle sauce or dressing pairs really well with it. I could eat the combo on repeat for awhile.
Easy Creamy Cashew Chipotle Sauce or Dressing
I use my small beast blender for this. If you only have a wide Vitamix container, you can double the recipe to make it easier. The recipe as is makes 2 cups of dressing. Store in a tightly sealed glass mason jar in the fridge. Keeps up to 3-4 days. Shake well before each use.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cashews, ideally soaked in room temp water for around 6 hours for the creamiest sauce – in a pinch though, soak in a bowl with hot water from the tea kettle for 15 minutes – drain prior to adding to blender
- 1 cup water
- 1 tsp chili powder, more to taste
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2-1 lime, juiced – start with 1/2 and add more to taste
Method
Add everything to a small blender. I blend for 1 minute in the mini beast, stop, and then blend again for another full minute. Taste and adjust seasonings if desired. Enjoy as you wish!
Tag me on Instagram if you make this! I want to see what you’re pairing with the sauce, Xx Riane @herhealthystyle
