This dressing is so good and creamy and perfect for a dressing on salad and I even used this dressing for my stuffed jalapeno peppers. I also used this dressing to make potato salad and it was divine. You can use this recipe for just about anything that usually calls for a creamy sauce. Add to any meat as a sauce too like chicken. Here is my recipe for this delicious dressing.
1 1/2 cups of soaked cashews
1/2 a large jalapeño pepper and use a few of the seeds as that is where the spice is if you like it spicy. I have to add that as days pass the sauce gets spicier so if you don't like it spicy leave the seeds out
2 tsps of lemon juice
1/3 cup of water
2 cloves of crushed garlic
1 tsp of Italian herbs
1/2 tsp of salt
Mayonnaise
2 eggs
1 tsp of vinegar
1 tsp of lemon juice
1 cup of light tasting olive oil
Rinse the cashews and place in a blender. Mix the mayonnaise ingredients except the olive oil in a food processor until it's thick like mayo. Add the olive oil, drops at first while the food processor is on low. Gradually add the oil faster until it's all gone. Pour the mayonnaise into the cashew mix and blend on low. Add a tsp of olive oil and the jalapeño pepper, lemon juice, garlic, herbs and salt and blend again until the dressing is smooth and creamy. Wash your hands right away so that you don't have jalapeno pepper on your hands. Serve the dressing on potato salad or any green salad you prefer. I will be using my left over dressing on some chicken the next day.
