The creamy texture and rich taste of blended cashews makes for a delightful, dairy-free, sauce that can be thinned to make a salad dressing. I love two-for-one recipes!
When creating a cashew based non-dairy recipes, the key is in the soaked and blending process of the cashews. There are several reasons that I believe in soaking nuts for, but in sauce making, the soaking will soften them. This enhances your chance to create a creamy mouth-feel. I see so many people skip this process and I also see them under blending. Sauces are not meant to be grainy feeling.
The garlic is rather strong so when you make your sauce add one clove at a time and taste test as you go. Personally, I love garlic. Just make sure your partner has some too and all will be good in the breath department. hehe When I first made this recipe I did a single batch, my husband and I ate all of it and then made more, more and more… just sharing this to say… you might want to double the recipe from the get-go. :) Enjoy! Many blessings, amie sue

One of my faves… not only with Zucchini Pasta, Sliced Tomatoe, Fresh Cilantro, Avocado on top… but also just made a twist on a simple quasi Indian Salad…. Cucumber, Zebra Tomatoe, fresh Lime & pepper… with the creamy garlic dill sauce on top. (picture can be found on my website FB link attached to my name)
I usually just make the sauce & only use a heaping spoon per serving & fridge the rest for a few other dips or sauce servings in the week.
And, I only use One large clove of garlic… teehee.

I am diabetic and got a book on going raw, but in this book it says to NOT use cashews… what can I use in place of cashews in these recipes? I think it is only until I get my numbers down to normal… will see… but want to do mostly raw afterwards as well….
Thanks, love your site,
Carol
Hello Carol… if the book tells you no to cashews, does it tell you what you have as far as nuts go? amie sue
This is absolute the best sauce ! I can’t eat enough of this. I even made a cucumber, beet, with hemp seed and mixed it up with sauce. Fantastic !
Thank you
Umm, that sounds wonderful Carmen… thank you for sharing. Have a blessed day, amie sue
Dinner is looking (and tasting),…. Yummy!!!!! Good thing I made 6 batches of it for our crew. Yes , I made sure to taste test each batch (to make sure it measured up to the last batch…:] I’m feeling kinda full …LOL !!! It’s great even made with sunflower seeds (have to make it this way due to Gene’s allergies),rather then cashews. It’s perfect!!!! Thanks Amie Sue…. :] Lyn
Hope that helps Carol on post above, most all of the recipes I have tried so far of Amie Sue’s that call for cashews , I am able to switch out with sunflower seeds (soaked of course). :] Lyn
Shew, 6 batches! How did everyone like it Lyn? Thank you for sharing your substitution, it will help others who come along and can’t eat cashews too. Have a wonderful evening! amie sue
Ten thumbs up!!! :] Everyone loved it!!!!!
That’s a lot of thumbs lol. I am claiming this recipe a success then! :)
The best raw cream sauce we’ve had. We’ve tried many recipes before and was becoming very hesitant of trying these types of “cream” recipes, but my husband and I loved this sauce. He gave it 5 stars. Next time I’ll have to quadruple this recipe :)
Awe LizaJo! That totally made my day. :) I am thrilled that you guys are enjoying the sauce. It is one of my favorites as well. Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know. Have a blessed day, amie sue :)
