As I mentioned in my last post, both my friend and I were so crazy about this cashew sour cream/cream cheese, whatever you want to call it (Heaven comes to mind), that we were imagining other things we could eat with it. She suggested slightly steamed asparagus—brilliant. I had to run to the store for a few things this morning, and when I saw the pretty asparagus, I couldn't resist. It was so yummy, I can't wait to make it for my friend.I followed the recipe in my Cashew Sour Cream & Cream Cheese post, with a few minor changes.
Cashew Cream Dill Sauce:
Soak 1 cup of cashews about 8 hours. Strain, rinse in fresh water & strain again.
Add to the food processor or blender with:
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
3 to 4 tbsp lemon juice
3 tbsp water
1/4 to 1/2 tsp sea salt or Herbamare seasoning
1/8 garlic powder
1/4 tsp dill
Puree till creamy and smooth.

Looks like you've "tied" a ribbon of sauce around your "bouquet" of asparagus--how lovely! I was just eyeing asparagus in the grocery store yesterday ... and to think I didn't like it for most of my life ... so silly. Your sauce looks wonderful, Kelly!

Another grand looking recipe! I would love to give this a try, I miss having tasty sauces and dips. So here is the recipe, now I just have to get my hands on some cashews!
this looks so good kelly! with the dill i'm sure it would be great on a nice piece of salmon :) yum!
Thanks Shirley! When did you start liking it? Recently?
Thanks Aubree! I've been really into dips and pudding lately =)
Thanks Noosh! I was thinking it would be good on salmon or chicken too =)
Hey kelly, it's been a couple of years since I started liking asparagus. We went out to dinner and roasted asparagus was served with our meals. It was amazing. So, then I just started eating it and love it. So silly that I didn't like it before, but I figure it will make every year exciting to learn to eat some new foods. Yesterday I was eating raisins ...

Along with Shirley I've just this past year started eating asparagus. I love it too now and just yesterday was wishing for a GF SF Vegan sauce to top it with. This sauce recipe sounds wonderful! I am adding cashews to my grocery list this week. Thanks again!
I just made this sauce, and my dinner party friends loved it! I added a little honey and lemon peel powder - to turn it into something a little sweeter :) Thanks! I will definitely make it again!

I just made this with a small change, or a big one, no dill, I used basil and it is awesome. It is solo good, the creamiest pesto ever. Can't decide whether to make stuffed shells, lasagna, or eat it straight with a spoon.
