Ingredients
- 1.5 cups raw unsalted cashews soaked in boiled hot water for 1 hours or overnight
- 1 ripe avocado pitted and coarsely chopped
- 1 cup fresh cilantro finely chopped
- 2-3 large garlic cloves minced
- juice from 1 large lime
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- sea salt and black pepper to taste
- ½ jalapeno leaves seeds in if you like it hot
- ¾ to 1 cup filtered water
Instructions
- Soak cashews in water that you brought to a boil and removed from heat for at least 1 hour. If you prefer, you can soak overnight.
- Drain and rinse cashews after soaking.
- Place all ingredients except water in high-speed blender of food processor. Pulse just until combined. Add water, a little at a time. I usually start with ¾ cup and add more if sauce is too thick.
- Drizzle over your favorite dish and enjoy.
Notes
- My cilantro lime avocado sauce is not just for tacos. Use on any dish to which you wish to add more flavor.
- Make sure you process long enough that the cashews are completely blended into the mixture. Chunks of cashews are not cool for this recipe.
- Store in an airtight, glass container or jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
