I looks great, but did you mean 4.5 cups cashews, or 1.5 cups? I’m guessing 1.5 cups given the rest of the ingredients.

I just made this to go with my lunch. Instead of the 1.5 cups whole raw cashews, I used 3/4 cup Artisana raw cashew butter as it is available at my health food store and the raw cashews I have to order online and are very expensive. I also only used 1/4 of a jalepeno because i’m a wimp. I love it! I put it on some zucchini noodles with quartered cherry tomatoes and scallions. T’was delish.

I just made it tonight as a dressing for my salad, and it turned out great! I didn’t have any cilantro, so I used parsley. Also, I used cayenne instead of jalapeno. I’ll have to figure out a cashew curry sauce someday (goes really well with kimchi)! :)
