Notes
*I prefer to soak the cashews in boiling water for 30 minutes. You can also soak the cashews overnight in room temperature water.
**I prefer to keep this dressing on the thicker side that way I can use it as a dip or thin it out later and use it as a dressing. You will get more uses out of it this way.
