Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 0.5 cup water
- 3 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Place 1 cup of raw cashews into a bowl and cover them with boiling water. Let them soak for 15 minutes to soften.
Drain the soaked cashews and transfer them to a blender or food processor.
Add 0.5 cup of water, 3 tablespoons of sriracha sauce, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup to the blender with the cashews.
Add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 0.5 teaspoon of onion powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of sea salt to the blender.
Blend all ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. This may take several minutes, depending on your blender.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more sriracha for extra heat or more maple syrup for sweetness.
Once the desired consistency and flavor are achieved, transfer the sauce to a jar or airtight container.
Store the sauce in the refrigerator for up to one week. Stir before each use as natural separation may occur.
