Instructions
Roast the garlic
- Preheat the oven to 200 °C or 400 °F. Cut the tips off the head, exposing the ends of the cloves, so that it's easier for you to peel them later.
- Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and black pepper and wrap each head in a piece of aluminum foil.
- Roast for 35-40 minutes until tender and aromatic. Let it cool and peel.
Make the sauce
- Combine peeled garlic, cashew nuts, lime juice, sesame and olive oil, mustard, capers, brown sugar, white wine vinegar and vegetable broth. Blend everything together until smooth using a food processor or immersion blender. Add more broth if you like more liquid consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Use in dishes to which you’d normally add mayo. This sauce is perfect for salads, casseroles, roasted and fresh vegetables, pasta, burgers, soups, bowls, sandwiches, toasts, crackers and more. See all the serving options above for more information.

- To roast the garlic, cut the tips off the head, exposing the ends of the cloves, so that it’s easier for you to peel them later.
- Store the roasted garlic cloves in olive oil in the fridge for up to 10 days.
- The sauce can be stored in a glass jar or bottle in your fridge for up to a week.
- Capers give a salty touch, so you'll need very few or no salt in the end.
- Depending on how thick you want your sauce to be, you will need different amount of vegetable broth to adjust the consistency. Start with 1 cup and keep adding water until you like the consistency.
- Use other nuts instead of cashews. I tried to make this dressing with walnuts and it tasted great, too. Though the color was not as bright as with the cashews.
- You can use any other sweetener of your choice instead of brown sugar: agave juice, maple syrup or molasses.
- You can use lemon juice in place of lime juice for this sauce.
- Olive oil can be substituted for sesame oil.
- Skip the capers if you don't have them. You'll need more salt though.
