Cashew Crema
The taco topping you never you knew needed. Dairy free and loaded with fresh herbs, cashews, jalapeno, and ginger for a thick, vibrant, zesty topping bursting with flavor to top your favorite taco
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup of cashews (preferably soaked in hot water for up to 30 min to soften)
- ¼ cup of fresh cilantro leaves
- 1-2 teaspoons of fresh grated ginger (depending on how strong you want it)
- 1 chopped jalapeno
- juice from 1/2 a lime
- salt/pepper to taste
- 3-5 tbsp of warm water – start with 3 and add as necessary for desired consistency
Instructions
Directions:
- Use a wide mouth mason jar that fits your hand held immersion blender. Add all ingredients into the jar (make sure cashews are strained and rinsed if you decided to soak)
- Use an immersion blender (linked below) to blend on high until mixture is well combined and has a thick but pourable consisitency. Add additional water to thin as necessary.
- Enjoy over any taco, nacho, fajita, quesadilla or Mexican inspired dish!
- Store in an airtight container – separation is natural. Use within 1 week of storing in the fridge – real raw ingredients shouldn’t have a long shelf life;)
