Ingredients
- ¼ cup raw cashews soaked
- ½ cup cilantro
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 ½ tablespoon jalapeño pepper diced
- 1 avocado
- 3 tablespoon lime juice
- ¾ cup water
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- If you haven't already soaked the cashews, you can boil them instead: bring a pot of water to a boil, then add the cashews and boil them for 15 minutes, which will soften them. Drain and rinse them under cool water.
- Add all of the ingredients to a small blender or food processor and pulse until smooth, adding more water 1 tablespoon at a time as needed. Enjoy!
