I have read and read and read about soaking nuts to use them to make milk or salad dressings. So I soaked 3 cups of cashews for a day and decided to make something. After reading about a delicious red pepper dip/dressing, I decided to make my own version of it(particularly because I am sure everyone has nutritional yeast in their cupboards…I mean, who doesn’t?). So here is a green version of this, which I will call Green Yum Yum’s.
Green Yum Yum’s Dressing/Dip/Spread:
1 cup soaked cashews
1/3 cup filtered water or alkalined or distilled
handful of spinach
1/2 avocado
salt and pepper
1 clove garlic
3 tbsp or half a lemon of juice
1 dollop of tahini, pref over 1 tbsp
Put all ingredients in blender and top off with 1 tbsp of olive oil. Blend until chunky. Gradually add in more olive oil and fold until a creamy smooth texture develops in the blender.
It’s soooooo yummy. I make a spinach walnut pesto and it really reminds me of that. Super happy.
On an additional note: I’ve lost 6 lbs in 9 days and have way too much energy. I did cave in to some regular red wine though simply because I have only found 1 store by me that carries sulfite free wine. Hopefully, I find a new one soon! But if I am so strict on everything else, a little wine concession isn’t really bringing my spirits down. No pun intended.
