Ingredients

  • 2 cups cilantro loosely packed, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup Italian parsley loosely packed, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons oregano fresh leaves
  • 2 teaspoons garlic minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes or to taste
  • lemon zest and juice, large
  • 1 cup cashew soaked in water overnight, roasted
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup almond milk unsweetened
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a high-powered blender, add the cilantro, parsley, oregano, garlic, red pepper flakes, and the lemon zest. Blend until broken down, scraping the sides down as necessary.
  2. Drain the soaked cashews and then add them into the blender along with the lemon juice and 3/4 cup almond milk. Blend on the highest speed until the sauce is smooth and creamy, about 1 minute or so, scraping down the sides as necessary. If you want a thinner sauce, add in a little bit more milk.
  3. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and adjust level of spiciness if needed.
