This jalapeno lime cashew sauce is a quick and easy recipe that serves as a dressing, sauce, and a dip.
Making cashew cream sauces are so easy and they’re incredibly versatile. If you like a little spice, you’re going to love this.
I wanted to kick my salads up a notch and as much as I love a regular cashew sour cream, I needed a little pizzaz.
I love the jalapeno and lime combination when it comes to homemade guacamole, so I figured why not make a jalapeno lime cashew sauce.
I used pickled jalapeños for this recipe. You can find these in your local grocery store, usually in the Mexican food aisle.
