Basic White Sauce Recipe
We often use this sauce in place of sour cream on our tacos, but you can put it over pasta, on sandwiches or pizza, use as a dip (add less or no water), a dressing (add more water), drizzled over steamed veggies, and so much more! Let your creativity loose! You can feel good about the 3 simple, real ingredients. For those who are being mindful of their fat consumption (even good fats), this is a recipe to save when you are further along on your healing journey. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw cashews - soaked for at least an hour rinsed, & strained
- Juice of 2 large lemons
- 10 cloves of garlic we like it very garlicky! You could do 2-3 if you’re not ready for so much garlic.
- ¼ cup water more or less depending on how thick you want it
Instructions
-
Make sure the soaked cashews are rinsed and drained of water. Add everything to a blender and blend on high for 2 minutes.
-
Drizzle, dip, dress up your dish! Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
