Equipment

  • high-speed blender

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup raw cashews soaked overnight or for 30 minutes in hot water
  • 1 bunch cilantro stems removed
  • 1 jalapeno seeds removed*
  • 1 clove garlic small clove
  • 1.5 limes juiced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup cold water

Instructions
 

  • Soak the cashews overnight, or pour boiling water on them and let stand for at least 30 minutes to soften.
  • Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend until creamy, scrapping down the sides as needed.
  • Place in the fridge to cool—the blender blades can heat it up.
  • Serve on taco salad, breakfast tacos, steak, chicken and more!

Notes

For a less spicy dressing, remove all seeds from jalapeño, for a spicier dressing, add them. Start with a few so you don't overdo it. As the dressing sits, it will get spicier!
