Instructions
Soak the raw cashews in water for at least 2 hours to soften them, then drain and set aside.
Squeeze the juice from the two lemons into a blender, ensuring no seeds are included.
Peel the garlic cloves and crush them slightly with the side of a knife to release their oils.

Season with salt and black pepper.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. This might take about 2-3 minutes depending on the power of your blender.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and stir it into the sauce to add a pop of color and freshness.
