Quick and easy creamy garlic sauce that is perfect for burgers, salads, wraps, fritters, or grilled veggies. You do need to be prepared a little ahead of time to soak the nuts. This recipe can be adapted to make different flavours each time using fresh in-season herbs and veggies. The beautiful lilac colour is made naturally from the cabbage leaves and stands out against a green salad. Alternatively, swap out the cabbage for herbs and make a creamy green sauce!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup raw cashews

  • 2 tsp lemon fresh juice
  • 1-2 pinch of sea salt

  1. Soak cashews in water overnight in the refrigerator (alternative if you want it quicker soak in lukewarm water for 2+ hours the longer the creamier).
  2. Chop up red cabbage and blend all ingredients until smooth and creamy. Add more water for a runner dressing. Season with extra salt if needed.
  3. Serve with chilli flakes and edible flowers (I used dried cornflower)

Notes

Swap red cabbage for a handful of your favourite herbs such as Parsley, Coriander or Chives.
