Instructions
- In a high-speed blender, combine the cashews, water, mustard, tomato paste, maple syrup, vinegar, onion powder, and salt. Secure the lid and blend until smooth, about 60 to 90 seconds.
- Taste the sauce and make any flavor adjustments, as needed. Then pour it into an airtight container with a lid and store it in the fridge until you're ready to use it. This sauce will thicken when chilled, so you may need to stir a tablespoon of water to help thin it out again. It will keep well in the fridge for up to 1 week.
